flash banner not linked in mozilla

[mari79]

I have a flash banner on the first site which is a button for another site.
The link works perfectly fine in Explorer and the new site opens in a new window... but in Mozilla nothing happens and I have no idea how to solve it

Please help!! Oh and the site is: www.tippat.com

it works for me, they open in another tab. try press and hold the ctrl key as you click on the link. or right click it and select open in another tab.

..but not the one on top, the betsafe one

Moved from Internet/Browsers forum.

oops clicked on the wrong banner - I found it does not work with opera or netscape either.

is it your flash or did it come from the affilations program the link goes to.

it came from the affiliate site. but it's weird that it functions in explorer

this is the code if there's something i've missed there:

<center><object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

Doesn't work on a Mac at all. I think it's probably the swf file.

[mari79]

ok, sigh what a hazzel.. thanks 4 the help!

any idea what i should tell them about the swf?
i mean what's wrong with it?
cos seems they think the problem is on my side

If I comment out the <embed> line and remove all the hard returns you have in the code, then it works on the Mac.

[renegade600]

the flash works by itself. Where did you get the code to insert the flash? maybe try the one from here
where it says "If you just want to paste HTML code of flash banner:"

embed isn't an approved tag by the w3c, Param is. Embed is seen by IE only.

[mari79]

So even if I use the code from the site suggested by renegade600 it won't function as you said "Embed is seen by IE only"?

What does hard returns mean? What changed did you do to get it to work on Mac and can I remove some of the code to get it to function in Mozilla?

I am by far no expert, but it looks like you can get rid of the whole section pertaining to that particular flash and just use that code from the link I gave you. just give it a try and see what happens. Be sure to keep a copy of the current page just in case.

[mari79]

But if I use that code, how shall I link it to the affiliate page?

oops, I forgot the link is not part of the flash.
