Only in IE 6 does this swf not show/work?

[kbeeson]

Wonder why only in IE 6 does this clock swf not show - scroll all the way down to bottom right of page

if you right click on the tiny dot (in IE 6) where the swf is, you'll see it is indeed flash - but it won't display properly in IE 6...fix?

thanks much

You're missing the code in the Head of the page that calls the javascript file for Flash Active Content.

Thanks for your thoughts...I placed it in the head section...this is asp.net so the server places things on the page differently it seems than php or others. BUT still no fix for IE 6 - flash items work on all other browsers still.

Thoughts?

Is this the actual path to your javascript file: Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
Try using an absolute url there instead. Like this:
http://www.truthandlife.info/Scripts...tiveContent.js
Make sure that .js file is in That folder.
Other than that, I have no idea whay it's not working.

Thanks again

Yes, I've done all that but no go - even tried this

<script src="http://www.truthandlife.info/Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.truthandlife.info/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

but no change - everything still works on all browsers except IE 6.

Strange thing is when you right click on the tiny little dot on my page (the flash file) in IE 6 it shows that it's flash player 9 with its menu but it just won't display. Would love a fix since probably most people still use IE 6.

You know what - I just right clicked on the file, chose zoom in a few times and the file is there but it's window is real small, masking out the entire flash file - is this a css problem with IE 6?

That's some really odd code you have there. It doesn't have anything to do with the click to activate javascript. That's what most assume it is when you say you're having a problem with IE.

It looks like it has to do with the code you have for your imageAlign class. It has a height of 1%, which might be causing the issue.

[kbeeson]

Thanks for reply - actually it's a "1em" left margin pad that it has, doesn't have any height pad - unless you're referring to something else I don't know about?

Hmm, well the IE developer toolbar says it has a height of 1%, but I can't find it in your stylesheet. Try just removing the imageAlign class from that span altogether, and see what you get.

[kbeeson]

Yes this is strange - I removed the ImageAlign, and it placed it flush left on all browsers - but again only IE6 (haven't checked IE 7) won't display it, though it's there as a dot...real tiny. So I put the ImageAlign class back and I'm back to the start - would love a fix.

A much better thought would be to learn to debug the problem yourself. Remove the stylesheet from the page and test -- does the problem go away? If so, it's a stylesheet issue. Put back the stylesheet but go into the file and delete half of it and test. Does the problem go away? If so, the problem is in that half of the stylesheet. You can then narrow it down from there.

[kbeeson]

Thanks for the thoughts

Exactly, you need to debug it.
If I were you, the first thing I would have done was upload the original "clock.html" and "clock.swf" files to your server. Then open a browser type the path to the html file and see what happens. If it works, then it's a coding issue with your website.

You MUST narrow down the problem and the easiest way is to just upload the 2 files that flash creates after you publish (don't mess with them). The html and swf.
