Sorry List.

I really am all kinds of idiot. What I said below about BrowserCanvas is
incorrect. It takes the containerId as a parameter ... which was immediately
obvious from reading the documentation! Apologies. Now, to work out what's
causing the IE error ...

I am still interested in any comments regarding the Mustard Lab Resize Flash
with SWFObject issue though.

Humbly,

CB.
