I’ve been having a go at embedding Flash objects this way:  
[kirupa.com - Fixing the Flash/Embed Issue](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/flash_fix.htm).

It works fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer, it doesn’t display Flash objects at all.

This is the HTML I have…:

> [@"HTML"](#):
>
> \<body class=“sitemain”\>  
> \<table width=“800” border=“0” align=“center” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0” class=“basetable”\>  
> \<tr\>  
> \<td\>\<table width=“800” border=“0” cellspacing=“0” cellpadding=“0”\>  
> \<tr\>  
> \<td\>\*\*\<script type=“text/javascript” src=“flashobject.js”\>\</script\>
> 
> \<div id=“flashcontent1” style=“width: 800px; height: 200px”\>\</div\>
> 
> \<script type=“text/javascript”\>  
> var fo = new FlashObject(“logo.swf”, “animationName”, “800”, “200”, “8”, “#FFFFFF”);  
> fo.addParam(“allowScriptAccess”, “sameDomain”);  
> fo.addParam(“quality”, “high”);  
> fo.addParam(“scale”, “noscale”);  
> fo.addParam(“wmode”, “transparent”);  
> fo.addParam(“loop”, “false”);  
> fo.write(“flashcontent1”);  
> \</script\>\*\*\</td\>  
> \</tr\>  
> \</table\>  
> \<table width=“800” border=“0” cellspacing=“0” cellpadding=“0”\>  
> \<tr\>  
> \<td class=“whitebg”\>\<table width=“800” border=“0” cellspacing=“0” cellpadding=“0”\>  
> \<tr\>  
> \<td class=“topbgfade”\>\<table width=“800” border=“0” cellspacing=“0” cellpadding=“0”\>  
> \<tr\>  
> \<td width=“150” align=“left” valign=“top”\>
> 
> \*\*\<div id=“flashcontent2” style=“width: 200px; height: 300px”\>\</div\>
> 
> \<script type=“text/javascript”\>  
> var fo = new FlashObject(“buttons.swf”, “animationName”, “200”, “300”, “8”, “#FFFFFF”);  
> fo.addParam(“allowScriptAccess”, “sameDomain”);  
> fo.addParam(“quality”, “high”);  
> fo.addParam(“scale”, “noscale”);  
> fo.addParam(“wmode”, “transparent”);  
> fo.addParam(“loop”, “false”);  
> fo.write(“flashcontent2”);  
> \</script\>\*\*\</td\>

I bolded the parts that are specific to the tutorial.

I used different DIV IDs for each SWF, and also only used the “\<script type=“text/javascript” src=“flashobject.js”\>\</script\>” once on the page, as advised by the tutorial.

Does anyone know why this isn’t working in IE?
