Add a wrapper div around your alternative content div and apply the border styles to that.
SWFObject totally rewrites the styles when it places your flash object in there. So, you can not set the styling of the alternative div, no matter if it is in-line or external stylesheet. <!-- add styles to this ID "wrapper" --> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="myAlternativeContent"> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif"; alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a> </div> </div> Nathan Mynarcik Interactive Web Developer [email protected] 254.749.2525 www.mynarcik.com On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 9:42 AM, 000justin000 <[email protected]> wrote: > Could somebody post the structure of how the JS renders the HTML when > using swfOject dynamic?
