Hey all. So I'm not the web type, but I got contracted to do a simple site and
so here I am. The site works fine, and I used the new flash with AS3 to build
the interactive part. The swf file sits inside of a table, which has an image
as a background. Basically waht I did was took the bacground that's in the
table, figured out where the swf would be, and used that portion of the
background as the swf background too. I'm thinking that's the hard way about
it but I dont know any other way. The issue is, it works fine in firefox (the
background appears seamless) but in IE6 it is a little off. Anyone got
suggestions for that?? Basically, how do i ID the browser that's getting used,
and in the case of IE adjust the position of the swf?
It's a bit mind-boggling to me.
Thanks for the help.

Use a browser specific conditional comment like this:

<!--[if IE 7]>
Special instructions for IE 7 here
<![endif]-->

> <!--[if IE 7]>
> Special instructions for IE 7 here
> <![endif]-->

That would be -

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
Special instructions for IE 6 or earlier here
<![endif]-->

However, I'm guessing that someone who is not a web developer would be
baffled by not only the 'typo' there but also the omission of the following
information -

To do this you would have to change this (in the code on the page) -

</head>

to this -

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style>
SOME CSS SPECIFIC RULES FOR IE6 and EARLIER
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>

(in other words you have only added some lines above the </head> tag)

As for which CSS RULES you would need to use, well that would depend
entirely on what you have on the page. Can you post a link to it?
