    Hi,
    I'm a CMS developer and we 're using the swfobject.js in one of our projects for loading the flash movie. The flash movie is part of one of the templates that we use in our application. We load the config file that contains the slides for the flash movie from the server. The flash movie works fine when using a <base> tag in our html code but fails to load the config file when we use a standard CMS Tag in the template file. Please note that the cms tag also renders the base tag plus the robot meta tags which we require to search purposes.
    I would like to know if the swfobject file is dependent on the base tags.
    Any help is highly appreciated in this matter.

    Thanks,
    Seshu

    can you post an example html page? my first guess is that swfobject should behave the same as a normal embed.

    Geoff,

    An ideal example page is http://uat.cit.com which won't display any search results when you enter in the search textbox and hit search from a firefox browser but the same would work in IE. Please note that the base tag used in the page is not a cms tag and that works for the flash movie.
    I would recommend removing the above link from this discussion for search issues.

    Thanks,
    Seshu

    I don't see a problem in FF2.0.0.1 - you said the problem happens when you search for something, but looking at the site, the search textbox is HTML, not flash. Also, why is your SWFObject code outside of the <html></html>? You can see what code SWFObject made by putting this at the end of your page:

    <script type="javascript">alert(document.getElementById("homerotator").outerHTML+"\n\n"+document.getElementById("homerotator").innerHTML);</script>

    You should see that it's just some plain old <embed></embed> code (for FF).
