[RESOLVED] firefox leaves a gap at bottom of flash i.e. is ok

[mojito]

I have a small gap under my flash content and this is only the case in firefox in ie it is ok. In opera all sorts of style issues persist, but i want to solve this one thing for now.

I have googled it with no joy. This must have been seen before.
thanks for any tips or the solution.

Thanks for posting, the error is because firefox treats it as an inline object so the flash object needs to be given the following style and it works for me, this post should be good for ref puposes.

#flashintro{
display: block;
}

keywords;firefox,gap,border,works,in,ie

thanks

thats strange, I've never run into that issue and actually part of how I embed Flash now includes using a css hack to hide the object from IE and I use display:inline; to make it show up in FF without any issue.

i understand inline is like elements like text and therefore needs the space incase of letters which have "y" or "g" for example that there is space for their tails.

Where browsers are concerned they act more like humans than computers, maybee tommorow it will display correctly without the css??? I foookin hate them, one of the reasons i like flash and the sandpit idea, then we have to deal with versions oh the stress of it all.....

well, if you think of it like this, the more problems there are the less morons out there that can make crap pages for dirt cheap. I mean I even saw the light in the Eolas ActiveX bit, it basically eliminated a large population of bad flash programmers.

Always look at the bright side

true, however time spent on messing around takes me away from design and creativity. Something which flash gives me. Isnt it also moronic to do this messing around? Its not clever knowing all the gotchas googling stuff, but it is the more experienced which know more and do a better job. I just hate to waste client money. I wish the were more standards which were adhered to in the html world, what a mess it is now xhtml, xml, strict...
