Incorect Markup?

Hi. Ime trying to create a template in dreamweaver with a flash menu in it.
However something in the code that goes in the body is screwing it up and when i save the template the menu disapears.

the code is as follows.

Code: Select all

<body>
<Body onload="AdjustMenu('color','true',0,0)" onresize="AdjustMenu('color','true',0,0)">

<div id="color_id" >123 Flash Menu Placeholder.</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("menu.swf","color","664","148","6","#FFFFFF");
    fo.addParam("menu","false");
    fo.addParam("quality","best");
    fo.addParam("scale","noscale");
    fo.addParam("salign","LT");
    fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
 if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")== -1) {
     fo.addVariable("notIE","1");}
    fo.write("color_id");
document.getElementById('color').style.width="664px";
document.getElementById('color').style.position="absolute";
document.getElementById('color').style.zIndex="10"
</script>

It seems to be a problem with the line in red but i cant work out what (ime new to codeing)

So any help apreciated, thanks!!

Andy.

Try removing the first <body> tag, you shouldn't have two

And

Quote:

"664p x";

Quote:

"a bsolute";

Remove those spaces, wether they've just occured on the forum idk, but make sure they're not there... so it'd be

Quote:

"664px";

Quote:

"absolute";

Removing the body tag half worked, it now isnt coming up with the markup error but its still making the menu vanish :-s
The absolute and 664px things did not have a space in, must of changed it when i pasted it in.
Any other ideas?

cheers

Seems to be working fine for me. (In firefox 3 beta on Ubuntu, that is)

It displays fine XP SP3 , just isn't central?

Tested in IE7, FF2, Netscape 4 and opera 9

The only problem there is (other than it not being central) is a big blank white space because you set the height of the flash object to 148px and the width to 664px when it should be around 28px heigh and 500px wide.

Can I ask which browser has the big blanc space? I hadnt come across that 1!
I know it displays ok and works just cant get the dam thing central!!

Argh!!!
