Flash Param Tags Break Layout

  • I’m having trouble getting flash to show up correctly in my posts using the new themeing engine. I’ve turned off the XHTML autocorrect/validator in options so posting code isn’t the problem.

    I create a new page with this code:
    <object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ codebase=”https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0&#8243; width=”534″ height=”400″ id=”slideshow” align=”middle”>
    <param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain” />
    <param name=”movie” value=”slideshow.swf” />
    <param name=”quality” value=”high” />
    <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#ffffff” />
    <embed src=”images/slideshow.swf” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#ffffff” width=”534″ height=”400″ name=”slideshow” align=”center” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&#8221; />
    </object>

    This works just fine in Internet Explorer, but totally breaks the Kubrick and ShadedGrey themes I’ve tested the page with. When I remove the param tags, it works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. So, IE needs the param tags, but Firefox doesn’t like them. I’m stumped on how to fix this and was wondering if anyone knew how to get around this problem without JavaScript, if possible.

    Here’s an example of a Firefox broken page:

    Here’s an IE broken page:
    https://www.eclecticdesigns.org/?page_id=12

    I found the solution to my problem. I just put my page through the XHTML validator and found that WordPress was still adding extra tags into the code which was messing things up.

    That’s another score for valid code. Yeah WordPress!

    Thanks teegee543 …and the correct code is? Please, tell us. My report of XHTML are crazy.

    I tried many forms and i can’t find the solution.
