View Full Version : Coding Problem with HTML with Lunarpages as host?

First off, I'm very amateur at any encoding; scripting. I'm more of the person who creates the banners or graphics. Well, anyways, here's my situation. To improve our company's website (www.cstdinc.com) we decided to insert a newspaper article on the second page of the website. This is a picture of the first page. Everything's looking fine thus far.

Well, I uploaded the image to photobucket, like I always do, and then inserted the .html in the page in a place where I thought it would fit. The HTML editor for Lunarpages (our host) just allows you to insert the picture wherever you like without having to really script anything in HTML. I know how to use HTML, but only minimally. Here's the code.

Now, that's what was automatically entered into the HTML editor. Here's the problem part (which I'm pretty sure there's a problem with the HTML in itself, but this is the conflict).

Whenever I open Internet Explorer and when it opens up the second page...there is only the flash document, and no page content. This is what it looks like:

It's supposed to look something a bit like this; flash on top, page content underneath:

...but that's not happening. I don't get any page data, and the ony thing I changed was putting the picture at the bottom, where it needed to be.

So then, I decided to experiment and try getting on the website with Firefox. What popped up was this:

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u157/Karreaux/help5mozilla.jpg

Page content, but no flash at all and I recieved this odd message at the top: Fail (the web browser should render some flash content, not this)

What was odd was that I didn't even mess with the flash; I only put in the picture at the bottom. Could this be a problem with the host (Lunarpages), the code, or is it just being plain and ornery? I need to fix this because the webpage has currently become unlivable.

Sooo...yes, I need the flash for the website because it actually transports you to different pages and it has crippled our website and some of our customers who need vital information. Please help quickly! I need to fix this problem!

FF does'nt show your flash since you only have the object tag. This is recognized only by IE (afaik).
You need to have an embed tag to show on FF too and possibly on other browsers.

Try to change your codes to (Highlighted is added):
