Hi everybody,

I have a dilemma. I am a nub when it comes to HTML and CSS. That is dilemma #1. Dilemma #2 is I have a .SWF file that I want to place within an HTML element. After some investigation, I understand that it can’t be done in CSS , e.g.: ([COLOR=“YellowGreen”]background:url(myfiles/Banner.swf)[/COLOR]). So, how would I place the [COLOR=“YellowGreen”]“Banner.swf[/COLOR]” into an HTML element? All of those flash banner ads you see on websites use a method that I am unfamiliar with, so any help would be greatly appreciated :disco:

Thanks!

Dilemma #3 - personal :hugegrin:
