[css-d] SWF file has huge blank space in IE6
Greetings, Just uploaded a Flash file and it looks great in all browsers except IE6 where there is about 300 px of blank space just above it. Help! Any ideas of what I can do to repair this? http://www.amckwebandprint.com/ http://www.amckwebandprint.com/Flash/AC_RunActiveContent.js Thanks very much, Anne __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

You can isolate the container and hide the overflow, by adding...
* html #maincontent {
width: 590px;
widt\h: 500px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
...to prevent IE from expanding the flash file container - see: IE's
auto expansion bug - and push it below the sidebar.
I've included values for both IE6 in standards mode and older versions
in quirks mode.

Georg

Thanks very much for your quick reply. Your fix has corrected the
page in IE6 and it looks fine in all browsers except Firefox on PC
(Firefox on mac is fine). In Firefox PC the entire main content is
pushed over to the very edge of the browser window with about 200 px
of space to the left--between it and the sidebar. Any suggestions?
Yes, apply the CSS code I sent - verbatim - to target IE only, and don't
add those values to the regular #maincontent selector.
This what it should look like in your stylesheet...
* html #maincontent {
width: 590px;
widt\h: 500px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
...with the '* html' preselector for targeting IE only.
Without that preselector you'll be messing up for poor Firefox 2.

Gee, what is the widt\h property?
A hack to feed the width-value only to IE version 6. Only working as
intended when using the IE targeting selector...
* html #maincontent { /*IE-garbage here*/ }
One more question for you or anyone who can answer: the HTML
validator turns up about a dozen errors in the flash code. I used
Flash 9 to create this file; any ideas on how to clean-up code that
Flash creates?
Search for the term valid flash.
