    A client of mine supplied me with a template to turn in to his web site. This has a flash header and he is getting the click to activate thing.

    So I found SWFObject, read the instructions carefully and added it to one page to test. It works fine in everything except IE 7.

    Here's the code:

    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body >
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" style="width:741px; height:100%;">
    <tr>
    <!-- begin of header -->
    <td width="100%" height="288">
    <div id="flashcontent">
    <b>If you are seeing this and not the flash header, you either need to update your flash player or enable JavaScript in your browser settings.</b>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject("flash/header_v7.swf?button=1", "NTI", "741", "288", "6", "#ffffff");
    so.write("flashcontent");
    </script>


    </td>
    </tr>
    <!-- end of header -->

    IE 7 simply shows the "If you are seeing this and not the flash header..." bit.

    I have added .flashcontent to the CSS file and now....I dunno!

    Any help would be appreciated

    in my experience, that error has been caused by either A) having a typo in my filepath ("flash/header_v7.swf?button=1") or B) having a corrupt install of the Flash Player for that particular browser.

    see this forum post for details regarding a corrupted Flash Player:

    It is most likely an install isuue as Philip has already mentioned, but might as well cover all bases :)

    If you still have issues AFTER ensuring your path is correct and you have uninstalled/installed, try removing the CSS from the page (the import and inline styles). Ther have been a few issues on the forum recently where badly formed CSS was causing rendering issues on certain browsers (but I think this was Firefox related, not IE).
