Looks good, but I'm getting this one on the HP top:

< src="../topbannner.swf" width="760" height="200" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

The TVRCC logos do not always have the same proportions? Nice, clean styling though

Looks fine to me, I'm guessing you need certain Flash plugins.

I have flash installed, and I wouldn't see the html code when a plugin would be missing.

Jo, I've had a look at the source code, and it appears that the style-sheet, and the background image are still linked to your local drive. (Explains, why my screenshot looks different to your version in the browser )

Bodo it all works here.

Hi,

Looks good and works fine for me with IE.

Netscape didn't like the flash bit though - just rendered the folowing text:

< src="../topbannner.swf" width="760" height="200" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

You should be able to get some trick html/java script to put a picture in its place if the browser doesn't have the flash plug-in - don't ask me how though I hate HTML coding!

Seems to be a problem with Mozilla/Netscape browsers.
I am running Firefox and get the same result as Bodo.
Renders fine with Crazy Browser though (Which is a great browser for those of you who can't give up IE....pop up control etc).
Most sites I visit render fine with Firefox/Moz so maybe you need a subtle change in your code.
Sorry....can't help on that

[blondemoment]

Okay, please can someone give me a pointer in basic english(!) of how to correct this, and also how to view in Netscape from my PC? I think I may have worked it out, but I can't see!

How do I put something else there if people haven't got flash installed? How do I get the banner to load first on the home page?

Apologies, but it's only my second website!!

OK, while they're going on about Flash and such mularky (what animation? I didn't see one :-0) I'd just like to point out that sentences begin with capitals!

Replace the following lines in your file "home.html":

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="760" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="../topbannner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="LOOP" value="false">
< src="../topbannner.swf" width="760" height="200" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://wWW.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</object>

with these:


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
width="760" height="200">
<param name="movie" VALUE="../topbannner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="exactfit">
<param name="menu" value="true">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000040">
</object>

(That'll be the entire <object> tag in the middle of the source page.)
You can download Mozilla Firefox 0.8 from here: www.mozilla.org/ Firefox will show you the webpages like Mozilla and Netscape, but is lighter and faster Installation is straightforward, but when you're experiencing difficulties, go here:

If somebody doesn't have the appropriate plugins installed, a placeholder is usually shown by the browser.

I've never done any, so

Don't worry Blondemoment, when I see html my brain explodes too.

[TheExcession]

Better still, sod the flash part all together, make an animated gif instead or learn some Dynamic-HTML if you want some 'kewl' effects.

I've never been a fan of plugins for browsers, they completely violates the principles of HTML.
