HTML: The Definitive Guide
They teach you that learning HTML is like learning any other language and that reading a book of rules can only take you so far. Readers begin writing what may be their first Web page just two pages into the book's second chapter. From there on, they provide a wide range of HTML coding to allow readers to learn from good examples. The book includes a handy "cheat sheet" of HTML codes for quick reference.

UFO - Unobtrusive Flash Objects

Published in: HTML

URL: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/

Use this HTML to display Flash movies on web pages. This is IE and SEO friendly. Rename the SWF file name to your file name and also rename "ufo-name" to whatever you want. The "ufo.js" file is required for this to work, which can be found here: http://snipplr.com/view/2653/ufo--unobtrusive-flash-objects--required-javascript/

Plain TextExpand

<!-- Place in HEAD -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ufo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var FO = { movie:"/swf/name.swf", width:"300", height:"120", majorversion:"8", build:"0", xi:"true" };
    UFO.create(FO, "ufo-name");
</script>
 
<!-- Place in BODY -->
<div id="ufo-name">
    <p>Replacement content</p>
    <p><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.macromedia.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get macromedia Flash Player" style="border: none;" /></a></p>

Number 1: This is Brilliant Number 2: I wrote a function that figures out a size that I want the flash to be and I want to change the width and height using that function but when I replace the width:"300" with width:"maxWidth()" or anything like that it does not work.

Any help? JLCongdon@Gmail.com
