HTML - "floating" Flash Animations
I've seen on some sites, adobe.com for example, where a Flash movie appears to 'hover' above the contents of the rest of the site seemingly not confined to a cell. Many of these are triggered by rollover of a link presumably coded in the HTML. I'm wondering how to do it. I know how I would do it if I authored the entire site in Flash, but these pages that I'm seeing are HTML, ASP, JSP, etc.
Anyone?? Thanks in advance - sleepydad Similar TutorialsI am using swfobject javascript to write flash content to a div. while there are many great advantage to using this method one i rather like is how easy it is to display alternative content if the user does not have flash player installed. You simply put whatever you want to be displayed inside the div, if flash player is not installed it is displayed, if it is, the flash writes over the div content. attributes.id = "flash"; swfobject.embedSWF("flash.swf", "flash",... <div id="flash">no flash</div> Since i'm using javascript to load the flash anyway, i took it a step further and used javascript to load the alternative flash content. onload=function() { var txt=document.getElementById("noflash") txt.innerHTML='<img src="bg.gif" width="400" height="250" alt="bg" title="">'; } <div id="flash"> <div id="noflash"></div> </div> The only problem is in ie, i receive a null error because when the flash is writen to the div the noflash div is "deleted" so when the javascript trys to write to it it doesent find it and i receive a null error. One solution was to make a second hidden 'noflash' div but then i have a validation problem with duplicate ids. hi. i have some problems with inserting flash navigation bar into my macromedia dreamweaver 8. i made myself a bar on this page www.guistuff.com or trty it here www.hypergurl.com its pretty nice looking bar and i tought it would be much easier placing it in macromedia. so, i finished designing it and i got two things. thorn.swf file and a html code. this is the code <OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" WIDTH=155 HEIGHT=270> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="thorn.swf?tarframe=_self&exbackground=808080&makenavfield0=Vijesti&makenavurl0=&makenavfield1 =Informacije&makenavurl1=&makenavfield2=Akcije&makenavurl2=&makenavfield3=Udruge&makenavurl3=&makena vfield4=Foto galerija&makenavurl4=&makenavfield5=Forum&makenavurl5=&makenavfield6=Chat&makenavurl6=&makenavfield7 =Kontakt&makenavurl7=&makenavfield8=Marketing&makenavurl8="> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=noborder> <PARAM NAME=salign VALUE=LT> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000> <EMBED src="thorn.swf?tarframe=_self&exbackground=808080&makenavfield0=Vijesti&makenavurl0=&makenavfield1=I nformacije&makenavurl1=&makenavfield2=Akcije&makenavurl2=&makenavfield3=Udruge&makenavurl3=&makenavf ield4=Foto galerija&makenavurl4=&makenavfield5=Forum&makenavurl5=&makenavfield6=Chat&makenavurl6=&makenavfield7 =Kontakt&makenavurl7=&makenavfield8=Marketing&makenavurl8=" loop=false menu=false quality=high scale=noborder salign=LT wmode=transparent bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=155 HEIGHT=270 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED> </OBJECT> <a href="http://www.guistuff.com/"><img border="0" src="http://www.guistuff.com/images/11dot.gif" width="1" height="1"></a> <script language = "javascript"> <!-- theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object"); for (var i = 0; i < theObjects.length; i++) { theObjects[i].outerHTML = theObjects[i].outerHTML;} //--> </script> what should i do? please help me thanx http://www.colletts.co.uk/winter_dolomites.htm I have the above page that redirects users to my Winter Website - the HTML below isn't valid W3C does anyone know of a better and valid way to get this done?

I understand that there are tons of ways to do this but I really want the answer to the subject. What i'm referring to is a form that someone can print from the browser and "fill in the blanks" on the page where there are "underscores". My question is how to code those underscores. I tried manipulating the <hr> tag but it's putting way too much space in between each <hr>. I've already coded a "fill in the blank" line using <u> nbsp;</u> but that looks very messy. What do you guys/gals think? I was hoping someone could clue me in as to whether or not this would be possible. I'm thinking it isn't but I need to make sure. I'd like to provide a file for people to download on my website, but when they click on the link and the download window appears I don't want them to have the option of opening it. Is it possible to only give them the option to save the file? Sounds incredibly unlikely but I gotta know.

Hey, I'm trying to write some code for expanding and concealing text You can see this in action at youtube when you click the (more) button to expand text. Suppose I had a heading: MyHeading and a body of text: MyTextHere How do I make it so that when you click MyHeading it makes MyTextHere (initially not visible) appear, and when you click MyHeading again, it makes MyTextHere disappear? Thanks Alot. Hi, I have a problem with validating Strict XHTML 1.0 ... The tag: "option" doesn't have an attribute: "onchange" in currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0 Strict]...

Hi all, I am currently working on a website using Dreamweaver CS3. Whenever I view the (currently very basic) site in Firefox I get the line of code I entered as the title of this thread at the top of the page (directly above the banner) as if I had just typed it into the canvas area (correct term?).

Niall Hello folks, I have written some html, xhtml possibly, which has an href to another page, the second page being in frames and in a new window. It worked fine on an Me but now in XP it won't open the 2nd window (from the link in the first) saying it can't locate file bla bla bla, check the address.... The odd thing is where there were gaps in the address which I blocked in with a " %20 " for the browser to recognise, its saying its looking for the right address but with a 25 where all the %20's are, as well as the twenties themselves, so they now appear as "html%2520code" for example. When I open the file that is the target of the link I get the typical white file not found page, but it is dividing the screen as the frames of that file tell it to do. I would appreciate somebody telling me what the error could possibly be hello, can you please give me a sample code showing the difference between ismap and usemap. I need to give a seminar on it !!!!! Hi there, I m using dom with css in my web page.

This is probably very simple. I have a webform that collects data and then a javascript function calculates som values. The problem I have is that in Sweden we use "," as a decimal separator but the form only accepts "." or else I get error. Please how do you change that!? I have really googled this but I am probably using the wrong terms. BR, Peter Just out of curiosity, if a server returns a page with code 3xx and a "Location: url_1" header, but also includes a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=url_2"/> tag, then would the browser be expected to redirect to url_1 or url_2? I am running the Google Translate widget from my local drive within my index.html. When the widget tries to initialize , I get this warning pop up. I am going to distribute this on a CD and would like to include Google Translate as a feature as its going internationally. Google dont seem to do a non-flash version of this widget(?) How can I get around this warning popping up when ran from a local drive ? Hi Jquery Guros, I develop register form (in arabic).
