Anyone with Firefox AND Internet Explorer?...

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 by Matchbook | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

... Would love some errr.. tech-support? Just curious about something here.

If you go to my site in Firefox, my flash banner/buttons do NOT load for some reason - it just stays white as if nothing's there, bu if you visit in IE [or even Opera] it's fine and as it should be. Any ideas???

PS: This is NOT just some way to increase hits to my site - visit in both browsers and you'll see ..

Thanks in advance.

I'm still using the RC1 version of firefox, and I can see your flash items on all your pages except the home page.

From a view source, it looks like your home page embed tags aren't closed. They appear to be correct on the other pages, though. I think firefox is more picky about the tags.

Good luck!

I see what you are seeing also. I didn't take too much time to scan through the source but I can tell you that it's fairly easy to pop over to the World Wide Web Consortium and run a page through their W3C Markup validation page at http://validator.w3c.org/

Hope that helps...

A little typo in that link, Byron. Here's the correct one http://validator.w3.org/

Using FF 1.0(available today!) same as Aleatoric, can't see Flash on home page, but OK on others. Nice site BTW.
