Flash Photo Browser test

Test installation with some Montville and New Zealand photos using object to load the html page into a div.

Link: Andrew Berg's Photo Browser

Update:
Ok, renders and works in Firefox and Opera ( Win & OSX )however it generates scroll bars in IE7. Seems like some padding or margin issue.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of the scroll bars when viewed in IE7?

Update: FIXED.. changed the embedded xhtml to a strict doctype, which fixed IE7's scroll bars. I then added overflow:hidden to the body style to ensure no scrollbars in FF and Opera.

After the fact I tracked down these excellent links on embedding with object..

Hi, I have been using the flash photo browser for some years now. I used to insert it via an iframe, not any more thanks to your code, cheers :-)

Glad it worked Gary. It can be a bitch in IE sometimes :)
Remind me to switch off the profanity filter
