    Try setting the width to 173 for the object? It doesn't look like it's in it's own TR either. That could make it snap back into line.
    Should have asked if that's where you want it.

    try replacing the classid
    classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

    with this
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

    seems the classid line is specific to IE.
    And the codebase has to go as well...

    This article, supposedly has the answers:

    I checked it real quick. Two things try taking out the codebase and adding a data=pathtoswf line

    <object
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="movie.swf"
    Is this a swf or a flv ?

    Im on FF2 as well, but the text links work, however the flash itself should link to the website (check it in IE)

    Got me confused. When I click the flash it takes me to buildahookah. If that's from the text link, I don't see it in the HTML code. Though it does do it in a new window just like the text link below it is setup to do. I wouldn't worry over it, in FF or IE, they click that link it'll get them there.

    Alright, thanks for the help. I'd give rep points but it seems like I already have given you some and need to spread more before I can give it to you again :)
