Hi, I have a flash object in a DIV on a web page. When the CSS display property is changed, generally to hide it, the Flash object is reloaded.

Is there anything that can be done to keep this from happening, other than using the css visibility property, which causes other problems.

This problem does not occur in IE...

If this is not the right place to ask this question please point me to the right place.

Thanks for any help, Pat

The Flash object is reloaded if you use {display: none}
If you use {visibility: hidden} then Firefox shouldn't reload the Flash object.

A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
