IE6 is fully supported and works with both static and dynamic publishing with SWFObject 2.x.
Running your values through the generator ( http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html - the easiest way to ensure all values are outputting as they should), you get: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.1/swfobject.js"></scri pt> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {}; var params = {}; params.menu = "false"; params.quality = "high"; params.salign = "l"; params.wmode = "opaque"; params.allowscriptaccess = "always"; var attributes = {}; attributes.id = "placeholder"; attributes.align = "left"; swfobject.embedSWF("http://some.url.of/mine.swf", "placeholder", "500", "250", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes); </script> </head> <body> <div id="placeholder"> <img src="http://some.url.of/mine.gif"> </div> </body> </html> Can you verify that this works for you? Aran -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bertrand Sent: Friday, 24 April 2009 7:11 AM To: SWFObject Subject: SWFObject and Internet Explorer 6 Hi, I was experiencing problems with SWFObject 2.1 and Internet Explorer 6 at work so I created a barebone test page to check if the library was working. Here's the code: <html> <head> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.1/ swfobject.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="placeholder"><img src="http://some.url.of/mine.gif"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var params = {menu:"false", quality:"high", salign:"l", wmode:"opaque", allowscriptaccess:"always"}; var attributes = {align:"left"}; swfobject.embedSWF("http://some.url.of/mine.swf","placeholder", 500, 250, "9.0.0", false, {}, params, attributes); </script> </body> </html> The two URIs are valid, I just replaced them to preserve my company's anonymity. The problem is, this doesn't work as expected, since all I can see in the end is the alternative content (my .gif). Is there a reason as to why it's not working? Compatibility issues? Is Internet Explorer 6 still supported? Thanks.
