Thanks, Yes I am aware of the swfObject. We are working on an Flash application that can be embedded from external hosts, by any user, and we do not like to force users to store additional JS, like swfObject at their hosts. Instead we prefer to relay on the official nested <object><embed> thing. I am aware of weakness of this solution, but this is still not the point of my mail.
I just discovered that on my PC (both FF and IE) any page that uses <object><embed src=".......&nodemapid=....."/></object> ends up with stripped off <embed> tag. Of course I can change the variable nodemapid name to something else. But I just would like to inspect if it is really possible, that a variable "nodemapid" can cause different behavior (i.e. stripping out <embed> under some browsers) than any other variable name. The small HTMLs I linked in my first mail are not meant to embed anything real, but just to test the "nodemapid" variable, which is driving me crazy. And possibly this is only my local computer behavior. I did not found anything related on google. In fact "nodemapid" gives less than 300 results ;) Greg Monday, November 23, 2009 (8:44:57 PM) Nathan Mynarcik wrote: > Hopefully I am understanding what you are trying to do.
