Thanks Geoff - I had never encountered this before so I appreciate the
background info. Good idea about the alternate link for bypassing
detection. <br>

<div>We get mails like this about twice a month or so to the list,
and it's always because of 'bad' installs on the system. one big
culprit is usually the various plugin switches that are out there. if
they don't do the switch the right way, your computer might think it
has a version of Flash Player that it doesn't really have, or it might
think it doesn't have it at all, when it really is there.</div>

<div>I think that 'normal' users will very rarely encounter issues
like this, but for the times that they do, you can always include a
'bypass detection' link in your alternate content. that way if the user
*knows* they have flash installed, they can click that link and still
see your stuff.</div>
<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder">
</div>
<div>but ultimately, if that happens, they just have some issues with
their plugins.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">Hi,</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">First of all, I'd like to say thanks
to Geoff & Toby for developing this<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">great tool. Unfortunately, I
encountered a potentially serious issue<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">when viewing pages that use the
script in IE 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">2000. I visited several pages that
are using FlashObject or SWFObject<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">(including <a
href="http://www.cartoonsmart.com">http://www.cartoonsmart.com</a> and
<a href="http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/">http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/</a><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">and <a href="http://www.youtube.com">http://www.youtube.com</a>).
These sites all display their Flash content<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">properly in Firefox, but when in IE,
the alternate text is displayed. I<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">have javascript enabled and I also
have the most recent version of the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Flash player installed in IE so
unless I'm mistaken, the script appears<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">to be the source of the problem.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Any thoughts?</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Thanks,</div>
