SWF as a table's background?

[ant_Z]

Hi, is there any possibility to set swf as a table's background? Ive tried to search this forum but i didnt find anything interesting...

really a CSS question. Not sure but look for the answer in CSS forums. Off the top of my head I'd say no not directly but you could maybe simlulate it with positioning and Z-order

The problem is that the cells of table are dynamiccly generted by PHP script. Table has got constant dimensions: 800px x 933px. Ive tried to put swf on a layer below the table, but it didnt work in Opera and FF.

lol i havent even thought about so quick answer :] faster than a bot :]
as i said before, z-positioning doesnt work in Opera and FF.

I think it's an issue with flash not supporting the z-index. FF does indeed support it. You could try putting the flash in an Iframe and sending it behind the table.

Although I understand users may personally prefer FF over IE, with IE still maintaining such a large following of users it's suicide to box that browser out IMHO.

Using controls that specifically render in FF but not IE is as good as saying "IE users will suffer". If that is your goal or acceptable, continue. If not...rethink the layout and welcome IE users like any other or you cut off your toes to spite your feet.

youre right, but i dont understand the most of your post :] im not so good in english, but (if youre talking about the same thing im thinking) i can do 2 sites and use JS, which will redirect to page designed for browser.
The next thing, are you saying that is impossible? Ive rethought the layout, ive used png as a background and ive put with wmode transparent (no probles with ff... so far), and in Opera ive got - green background... so how can i erase this damn background in Opera? (IE and FF are OK)

Although that makes more work for you, it would be the preferred method since you could accomodate both browsers (IE and FF).
