    Default Flash not appearing in Internet Explorer

    I am having trouble getting a flash file to appear in Internet Explorer. It works fine in Firefox and on Mac browsers, but not in IE Windows.

    Here is a link to one of the pages:
    http://www.teachmetapes.com/catalog/...98cfc72fd51f87

    The code is placed in the description area of the subcategory "Chinese." Here is how I placed it:

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="230" height="100" id="spanPlayer">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="chinPlayer.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="flash_files/chinPlayer.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="230" height="100" name="chinPlayer" align="left" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.teachmetapes.com/catalog/includes/templates/teach_me/jscript/ieupdate.js"></script>


    Also included at the end is a script that was supposed to help correct this problem, but didn't. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Default Re: Flash not appearing in Internet Explorer

    I forgot to mention, this isn't the issue (yet) of a user having to Click to Activate. Its not appearing at all...

    The old, non Zen Cart page uses the same <object> code for the Flash content, and it works fine... so I am not sure what the problem is...

    http://www.teachmetapes.com/chinese.html

    Strangely, I DID get the flash to appear when I mistakenly placed the Flash <object> over a <span> tag, such as this:

    <p>Blah Blah Blah <span class="i<object .....</object>

    The span tag was never fully opened, or closed, and the <p> was never closed either. It placed the flash, but messed with the css layout. Weird.

    Thanks again
    Bryan
