title: Strange Firefox SWFObject display issue
body: <p>I am having the strangest issue with a site i am developing. On the homepage i have a flash slide show which displays fine in IE. However it does not appear in Firefox but instead leaves a white space. </p>
  
  <p>I am using SWFObject to display the flash. I knows its at least firing as the holding image is removed. However if i right click on the white area i get an HTML context menu not a flash menu which suggests its not even writing the flash object to the page let alone loading the flash SWF file.</p>
  
  <p>If i save the source of the homepage to a static HTML and upload that to the server it works fine. </p>
  
  <p>Could this be anything to do with the file encoding or http headers?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried so many things like removing content, JS, CSS etc. The fact that a static version of the file works but the server driven ones does not is driving me mad.</p>
  
  <p>The server is running Joomla CMS.</p>
  
  <p>The code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/swfobject.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;swfobject.embedSWF("/flash/loader.swf", "flashContent", "960", "310", "9.0.0", "/flash/expressInstall.swf");&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>HTML Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="middle" id="flashContent"&gt;
  &lt;img class="panelBgImage" src="/images/main/Home.jpg" title="Home"/&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>A temporary version of the site can be seen @ <a href="http://slc.synterax.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://slc.synterax.com/</a> (Available until 06/08/2009)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>having the script in the head portion of the page certainly fixed it for me. However i have seen problems in the past with flash and firefox and swf. the only way i got around it was to reinstall flash :(</p>
  
  <p>i take it works fine in the other browsers?</p>
