Hi,
Okay, I finally have major success with getting my menu to finally
play in FF and IE...now for the down side: I am getting an error in
Firebug that states
"n is null
SWFObject()("flashContent")swfobject.js (line 8)
www.jackpinewebdesign.com()()"
I ended up contacting the creator of the menu to help me with this as
I was getting nowhere with the swfObject on my own...not sure why that
is... I guess I just don't understand enough to be effective:(
I know everyone here was great to help out...I just wasn't getting it.
He is actually the one who put me on to swfObject...although I'm not
too sure he actually used the generator for this. When posting back,
can you please tell me what exactly needs to replace what? I am just
now learning js in college... whew...crazy... but it is helping me to
understand other coding a little better too.I think I learn more in
places like this anyway.
so here is the link:
http://www.jackpinewebdesign.com/
and
http://www.jackpinewebdesign.com/test.html
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
K.
