Finally!!

No, because on apache server, when there is no index.html file in the directory, if the user requests / instead of /index.html, it lists all the files. For security purposes, you should put an empty index.html in the directory while you're updating the files on your system
 
Ok http://www.specialistmotorsales.com/

It works in my FF, Chrome and IE... can anyone else see the flash?

Yes, the whole site is flash, again. I changed it to a static banner, no flash... but bossman liked all flash and wanted it back the way it was.

I keep reading something about an swobject.js Supposedly using that will let any brower view it with no problems? :shrug

Is there some way to set it up so that those with flash willv iew flash and those who don't have flash can view a static image? :confu
 
Works OK for me in Chrome. I still don't like the flash past the front landing page.
 
I tried making just the home page flash and the rest static with no flash... but I guess I'm not doing it right making 2 different css stylesheets.
 
Somewhat working for me in Firefox.

The flash works on the home page but when I go to other pages like the inventory page it says at the top something to the effect of "fail, should be flash content here" or something along those lines.

Biggest problem I see is not much inventory listed there however. :roll

Hmmm ...weird. Well I just copied and pasted the coding from the main page to the other pages. Try it again.. see if flash shows on all pages.

As for inventory... well thats all we have. lol
 
It all works for me......the more I see that flash stuff....the more I stop looking. I don't see that much on web sites I deal with.
 
If it were up to me, I'd take all flash off the header on every page and only have static image for the header. But the boss is the boss and likes the flash. lol

Yes that's absolutely possible. And yeah swobject.js is a good way to go, but it requires some JS glue to get it working.

You could put the "non-flash" static top in that area where it currently says "Fail...blah blah flash" Remove the fail message, put in the static banner...bob's yer uncle.


You know where to find me if you're having any specific problems.
 
:confu so instead of this...

<div id="header">
<div class="center">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,24" width="780" height="382">
<param name="movie" value="flash/header_v8.swf?button=1" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<object data="flash/header_v8.swf?button=1"
width="780" height="382" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).
</object>
<!--> <![endif]-->
</object></div>
</div>

it would go like this? :confu

<div id="header">
<div class="center">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,24" width="780" height="382">
<param name="movie" value="flash/header_v8.swf?button=1" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<object data="flash/header_v8.swf?button=1"
width="780" height="382" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
<image src="images/header.jpg">
</object>
<!--> <![endif]-->
</object></div>
</div>
 
Yeah, assuming that images/header.jpg is going to be all you want there. You can put fairly much any HTML there and it'll work, so you could do divs and spans and what-not.

What happens now? Does it show static header now if you dont have flash?
Click to expand...

Part of it, but it doesn't look right. To see for yourself, you can open Chrome, go to "about:plugins" and disable Flash, then reload the page.

By The Way...

I can't keep my mouth shut anymore. You gotta do something about that facebook thing. I'm sorry, I know you got king-tut 20 years in auto sales (But I'll point out, not 20 years in social media) telling you to do it...fine...but don't make it SO huge and in your face. It looks like content, and it's not.

I would make it smaller so it's about the same height as the text, and then center the slide-show image below both of them. Something. But you've got too many faces, and it's too big. It screams "I AM TRYING TI DISTRACT YOU FROM CARS"
 
Por Ejemplo, here's something I tossed together. I moved the <center>...</center> for the slider down to the bottom (BTW, <center> is deprecated.), right under the "clear:both" div, and changed the height on the facebook likeBox iFrame to 200px (Both in the iFrame definition, and in the src tag for the iFrame)

If you need me to explain anything let me know.

I'm only putting it together how the boss wants it. I like just the single Facebook icon
facebook-icon-small.jpg
I had originally at the bottom of the page in the footer, but he liked it with the faces and stuff. I'll ask him if he'll be ok with something smaller like you posted.
