Dan... It's only happening in IE 6 & 7 And even then, not all the time (as I mentioned). It appears that my production code seems to be working correctly. Here's a few URLs for you all to preview:
Here's an example of the code (working) on a page with no Flash content: http://www.courtesyportland.com/pages/page.cfm?pageid=70810&pagetype=37&feat ureid=-1&bhcp=1 Here's the SAME exact code, with the addition of a Flash movie using plain ole object/embed code: http://www.courtesyportland.com/pages/page.cfm?pageid=28691&pagetype=37&feat ureid=-1&bhcp=1 And finally, here's the same code with a Flash file embedded using SWFObject: http://www.courtesyportland.com/pages/page.cfm?pageid=28690&pagetype=37&feat ureid=-1&bhcp=1 -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan G.

Is this happening in every browser? I took a look at the source code for SWFObject I didn't see anything that jumped out to me as being a conflict. The only thing I saw that could be questionable, could be questionable is this line: /* add document.getElementById if needed (mobile IE < 5) */ if (!document.getElementById && document.all) { document.getElementById = function(id) { return document.all[id]; }} Which really shouldn't even be executed for jQuery support browsers. -Dan
