Hi  
Does any body have an idea why the contents inside the div wont display??  
Probably a stupid question.  
:ogre:

Also MM\_FlashCanPlay works fine

```auto

if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = "Content filled";
} else{
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = "Content not filled";
}

</SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>
<div id="content"></div>
</body>
</html>

```
