   Hello,

   Thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I am having an issue with ie 6.0 dropping a box the same size as my slideshow box causing my site to get distorted. If anyone could take a look at my site, and my monoslideshow info I would appreciate it.

   <slideshow>

   <preferences

   backgroundColor = "FDF9DC"
   showLoadingIcon = "false"
   showAlbumsButton = "false"
   showThumbnailsButton = "false"
   showControls = "false"
   showImageInfo = "never"
   imageScaleMode = "scaleToFit"
   imageTransitionTime = "1.0"
   imagePause = "5"
   kenBurnsMode = "random"
   albumWindowRows = "4"
   albumWindowColumns = "4"
   albumSpacing = "2"
   controlAutoHide = "true"
   markFile = ""
   markAlign = "bottomLeft"

   />

   <album thumbnail="album/albumThumbnail.jpg" title="Example album" description="Example description" imagePath="images/quotes_new2" thumbnailPath="album/thumbnails">

   <img src="quote_1.jpg" title="Example photo 2" description="Example description 2"/>
   <img src="quote_2.jpg" title="Example photo 3" description="Example description 3"/>
   <img src="quote_3.jpg" title="Example photo 3" description="Example description 3"/>
   <img src="quote_4.jpg" title="Example photo 3" description="Example description 3"/>
   <img src="quote_5.jpg" title="Example photo 3" description="Example description 3"/>

   </album>

   </slideshow>

   Thank you,
   Steve

   anyone? :(

   I have tried everything I can think of to prevent this "box" from showing up underneath the area where the slideshow is embedded.

   I am thinking that it has something to do with <object> tags that I'm using to embed the slideshow...as I get an error when opening the index.html file in dreamweaver that "this page contains "<object>" tags that may not work properly in the most recent versions of internet explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert these <object> tags" Here is my code:

   <div id="quotes"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="350" height="115" id="viewport">
   <param name="movie" value="monoslideshow.swf" />

   <param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" />

   <!--[if !IE]>-->
   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="monoslideshow.swf" width="350" height="115">

   <param name="flashvars" value="showLogo=false" /><param name="BGCOLOR" value="#879A6C" />

   <!--<![endif]-->
   Sorry!<p>You need an up to date <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Flashplayer</a> and Javascript to view this section.</p>
   <!--[if !IE]>-->
   </object>
   <!--<![endif]-->

   </object></div>

   does anyone know how I could remove the object tags and still have the slideshow work correctly?

   thanks,
   steve

   Hi Stephen,
   indeed, IE6 puts an ugly box below your Flash. Interestingly, when I right-click on the box, it says "movie not loaded", so this is a Flash movie (or not, however you put it).
   What I would try:
   1) Put the "Sorry!" inside the Paragraph, not outside of it.
   2) When I view source at your site (but not in the post above), some ">" for the conditional comments are not displayed correctly, but as <code>></code> May be this irritates IE6? Try changing that manually.

   My guess is #2 is the reason, as it would explain two boxes with this background color.

   Did it help?
