[SOLVED] embed / object flash swf in editorial (homepage) - help

[ixessories]

trying to add a flash banner to the homepage...it's simple object/embed code and the flash banner shows up, but it's about HALF the size? also, has issues with different browsers...

I tried the same code in separate html page and it works fine, so i'm guessing somewhere the size is being limited..can anyone help????????

Have you fixed this? It looks fine to me in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera.

yes !! not a programmer, so not sure what this line in global.css is for, but changing the height did the trick. it was set to auto??? -->

* {padding:0; margin:0; height:20; font: 11px Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva; color:#6A5D4A; list-style:none}

Great. Please edit your first post and add [sOLVED] to the front of the title.

will do ...any idea how this has an impact on the cneter column? the height numbers doesnt seem to be changing anything...

I see you are using the Moon theme. It seems to have the centre column height fixed at 415px on line 78 of themes/moon/css/global.css:

#main_center_column {width:878px; margin:0 auto 0 auto; height:415px;}

So the height of the centre column will always be at least 415px. If the containing elements are larger than that, it should expand to fit them.
