HTML - Object Tab - Problems In Ie
Hi there
I have used the object tab to display a file (instead of an iFrame) and it works fine in firefox but not at all in ie, has anyone any ideas please? Thanks in advance. Gaz Code: <object data="http://www.garysblog.co.uk/media/flashphoto/ambleside/index.html" type="text/html" width="400" height="400"></object> Similar TutorialsOk, so I'm trying to revamp my website to be W3C standards-compliant. Here's what I have currently: http://www.xboltz.net/index-new2.html I have a sidebar in a separate HTML document, that I bring in with an object tag, in order to make it easier to add new pages since I don't have to change every other page to add a link. I thought that by setting the object height at 100%, it would scale according to the height of what was inside the box, but it scales to the browser window instead. At 1024x768 and with all three collapsible elements open, a scrollbar appears in the object. Is there a way to make it so the whole page can be lengthened according to what's inside the box? And another thing that's really more important; the links do not work in IE. I tried 7 and 8, and the links all open inside the object, as opposed to the full window. It does that with both target="_parent" and target="_top". The links work in Firefox just fine. Hello, I am wondering if something is possible.. and if it is, how I would go about accomplishing the desired result.. This is a sample page to illustrate the problem http://comp.uark.edu/~bcagnin/test/index.html Is there a way to resize the object from a link that is within the website being displayed in that very same object?? Also, I am willing to use iframe if there is a solution that can be found with that... Thanks!! Tyrick I am using another persons code for our band's MySpace.( With some of my own) I am trying to display the shows section and the music player. When i insert the shows section the music player always displays behind the shows section. It is displaying the music player within the limits of the shows section. How do i make the music player seperate? Here is the code for the entire site with the music and show sections bolded.

When you size the window smaller than the text, a scroll bar appears, and when you scroll the background no longer exists. If I put it on auto the background will only go as far as the text does. 4. (nice but not required)The cocroachs to be alligned to the left and right of the top bar respectively, and the text in the middle. 5. (nice but not required) the right column background image is being cut in half (as does the top one if you size small enough). any way to make the images ignore the collumns? don't worry about the colors I will be changing them soon I have two objects on the same page, one menuline on the left and an embeded pdf-file. My problem is: The menu-object is behind the pdf-object and I want to put the menu-object over the pdf-object. <EMBED src="folder_name/filexxx.pdf" width="444" height="345"></EMBED> http://www.henningbrekken.net/eliselektro/opvc-jz.html If some can help me, I will buy a christmaspresent for that person... he-he Yours sincerly Henning Hi, I am very very new to HTML and have been trying to find out how to add a border to an object, which in my case is flash. Here is my script : <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="650" height="320" id="tacticalassassin" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="movie" value="tacticalassassin.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/> <embed src="tacticalassassin.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" bgcolor="#000000" width="650" height="320" name="tacticalassassin" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object> I've tried putting border=2, border="2", border=2px ect.... I've tried so many variations but can't get it to work... Can some one please help, thanks ! What I want to do is have an iframe or something that contains only a portion of an external website. Specificically, I want to only include the search results of an ebay search URL. I can use an iframe, object, or server-side include to include the whole page in my page; however, I can't figure out how to access the dom on those objects so as to locate only the search-results div. It must be doable, since I can see that dom via firebug, but I can't seem to access it programmatically myself. Any suggestions? I inserted an swf using the object tag. I used hspace and vspace to position it. Some browsers (opera/firefox) don't seem to be reading the vspace. Can I use CSS to position an object tag? I tried giving it a class name but it still doens't seem to work. Any suggestion? Hello, I've created a table that should be automatically populated by data from a text file.

I've just bumped into a problem, the following two files is used; HTML file CSS file Now, what i want to do, is to be able to write on top of, at the side and at the bottom in the mainbox, so that the text kinda "goes around" the black-er box to the right in the mainbox. Text starts at the top, and floats around the image and continues. (Dont worry about the image saying "Unable to load picture - please check browser version. Its because the image file is not correctly linked) Following image describes what i'd like to accomplish: IMAGE In front, Thank you! The following code works in Firefox AND validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict: <object codetype="application/java" classid="java:lake.class" width="423" height="567"> <param name="image" value="lovetide.jpg" /> </object> It displays the image, and the applet simulates ocean waves on the image. However, this code does NOT work in IE (no image displayed at all). Any idea how to do this in IE in a way that will still validate? I did some searches on the Web, and found an article that pointed out IE handles <object> differently from other browsers. Based on that article, I tried this: <!--[if IE]> <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" width="423" height="567"> <param name="code" value="lake.class" /> <param name="image" value="lovetide.jpg" /> </object> <![endif]--> <!--[if !IE]> Not executed by IE--> <object type="application/x-java-applet" classid="java:lake.class" width="423" height="567"> <param name="image" value="lovetide.jpg" /> </object> <!--[endif]--> Still works with Firefox but not IE. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Bill Hello, I'm looking for a script for a DHTML object. I don't know what the object is called nor do I have an example to link you to (sorry), but I'll do my best to describe it. It consists of a row of objects, usually images (particularly thumbs made into hyperlinks), that you can scroll through (horizontally) simply by hovering the mouse cursor over the left or right sides. I'm open to variants of this (hovering, for example, isn't necessary; dragging will work as well). Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Here's the link to my test web page with a short slideshow embedded in it. http://www.prestigekitchensandbaths.com/test/index.html The slideshow movie is in FLV format, and it works fine in FF, Opera and Safari. Funny thing is that it works fine in IE when I test it on my desktop (Windows XP), but it won't work at all when I test it in IE on my laptop (Windows 7). Any idea why that would be? I'm using the FLV Player to play my video, as it gives me nearly all the parameters I was looking for, it doesn't require any scripting, and it's open source. Also, it seems to work with all the major browsers while not forcing me to use the EMBED tag, which is deprecated now and shouldn't be used. But it still boggles my mind why it would work in IE on one of my computers but not on the other. Hello guys, Is there any way to make a large files of flash into a smaller file size for faster loading of a site using JavaScript? Hello everyone! I am currently working on a project that requires the following object to auto-scroll at user defined speeds: <td width='75%' valign='top'><object width='500' height= '1000' type='text/plain' data='bird.txt' border='0'> The embedded object is always a text file but each one will be a different size. I need some kind of auto-scroll mechanism that will allow the user to scroll down the text box at a speed that suits the size of the text file itself. Does anyone have any suggestions about how this could be achieved? Thanks Hi everybody I know what is CLASSID. But, when embedding an ActiveX control into my Web page, what CLASSID should I include. For example, I want to embed Microsoft Agent "Merlin", how can I know what is its CLASSID. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hey, my name is yann from Angola and Holland at the same time. My english isn't really perfect, so can someone please place a link to a tutorial that completely explains how to perfectly use the Html's object tag and it's atributes. BTW, im learning html 4.01. Is it worth it? I have recently made a couple of small websites which include a few small .swf's of work I have done. I am inserting the objects via the Object tags, and shown below is what I use. Code: <OBJECT ID="FlashPlayer" CLASSID="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" CODEBASE="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" WIDTH="481" HEIGHT="350" ID="my file ID"> <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="the file location" /> <PARAM NAME="allowScriptAccess" VALUE="sameDomain" /> <PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#ffffff" /> </object> Upon loading said webpage in IE, the content loads.... ... but it does not load at all in the latest version of Firefox. I would be most grateful if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong, or what the correct tags are for Firefox. I have checked the search function and apologise if I did not see it mentionned in my list of search results. Kind regards. I have been making a website for some hours now, I started off making it comply to XHTML Transitional 1.0, however, this made it incredibly difficult for me to make the website appear how I wanted in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, so I downgraded to HTML 4.0.1 and decided to use iframes instead of objects to implement another webpage. However, there are two flash files on my website that are embedded using the object property: HTML Code: <object data="flButtons.swf" width="790" height="85" style="border-width: 0px;"> </object> And HTML Code: <object data="flSarah.swf" width="230" height="380"> </object> This works fine in firefox however, in internet explorer 7 it has a weird border like thing around it, and no matter what I try, I can't get rid of it. I initially had it on the iframe but i got rid of that using "frameborder=0".. this has no such attribute. The website is: http://www.geocities.com/s.cowperthwaite/index.html (temporary host obviously ) Any help will be appreciated : ) Thanks, matthew haworth |
