    What border you are talking about? Its probably because, your site has too much "red" color in it that I was not able to notice the border that you have talked about.

    it only happens on IE for some reason. it's a transparent line around the page about half an inch in from the border....mine says "press the space bar or hit enter to activate"...on others the transparent line just comes up and you have to click to activate the rollover effect on the menu.

    That is because you have 100% height and width flash movie and the border is set in IE. You have to activate flash or any embedded object I believe in IE before you can use it. You can use a javascript workaround to avoid the user having to click on it to activate. I personally use

    HTML:

    Also your code structure is messed up. Try using this at least it will be a bit more structured.

    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body style="background-color:#FF0000;margin:0px">
    <object width="100%" height="100%">
    <param name="movie" value="/new_smoothstitches_ultimate_finale.swf">
    <embed src="/new_smoothstitches_ultimate_finale.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
    </embed>
    </object>
    </body>
    </html>
