Problem with flash files in Firefox

3 New Member

Hello ,

I have a DIV part in the main page of my web site. Using javascript code I fill the InnerHtml of this DIV.

Everything is fine with IE but there is a big problem with firefox.
If you check it with Firefox: http://www.adsontime.c om/index.asp
you can see what I mean. Wait some seconds for flash file to be opened.

The code is in the following;

in index.asp;

<div width=325 height=230 align='center' id="id_pc"><im g src="/images/first.jpg"></div>

in a javascript function of my .js file;

src += "<table border=0 width=325 height=230 bordercolor=#00 0000 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>" ;
src += "<tr><td>";
src += "<div id='transparent 1' style='position :absolute; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:0;'>";
src += "<embed wmode=transpare nt src='/test/files/"+time_str+"."+ file_type+"' quality=high"
src += "pluginspage='h ttp://www.macromedia. com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Pr od_Version=Shoc kwaveFlash' "
src += "type='applicat ion/x-shockwave-flash' width=100% height=100% scale='noborder ' align='top'> </embed>"
src += "</div>";
src += "<div id='transparent ' style='position :absolute; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:200;'>";
src += "<a href='javascrip t:GoURL(time_st r);'><img border='0' src='http://www.adsontime.c om/samples/transparent.gif ' width='100%' height='100%'></a>"
src += "</div>";
src += "</td></tr></table>";
document.getEle mentById('id_pc ').innerHTML = src;

Do you know any solution?

Thanks.

Didn't have time to pay much attention. The playoffs are on. But without a proper doctype, you will never get IE to perform like a modern browser. Yes, I know you said it works in IE but you designed it using IE, correct? Bad move. Never use IE for initial designs. Add this doctype to your first line and see where we stand:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

You may have solved the problem for the moment but I'll say again, you will never get IE to attempt to perform like a modern browser without a proper doctype and you don't have one. More problems are around the corner.

drhowarddrfine,
Thank you very much for your advise, but the flash files can not be seen in the page after this modification.
So I deleted this doctype declaration.

Do you suggest me any other doctype for that?

Regards,

All new pages should always use the strict doctype. I don't know enough about flash files to help with this.

Flash detection Javascript doesn't work in Firefox

by: Cliff R. | last post by:

Hi, I use a handy little Javascript Flash detection script on a number of sites (copied below). Usually works great, but I just started trying Firefox and it's not working. A few browsers are referenced in the script so I presume that Firefox needs to be added somewhere -- does anyone know how I could update this to be supported by Firefox? Thanks! <SCRIPT TYPE="text/JavaScript">

Saving wav file problem in Firefox

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
