There you go! I knew it was too good to be true. That probably means that there really is no standards-compliant way of embedding Flash that doesn't cause problems for someone somewhere. Back to the drawing board. David

David One of the central tenets of good coding is that comments are for comments, code is for code. It's bad practice to put code into comments. Comments should not be interpreted by any software, they are purely for human consumption. What would happen if I added a normal comment to my code that some third party application decided to run and execute? Bad things can happen! Trust Internet Explorer to do something like this. If you are going to do something that is IE only then use vbscript, at least you'll know it'll only exploit the one browser that runs it.
