Today I tried to update my website for my business...I still have some work to do, but I managed to figure some stuff out.

However, my Flash application works only with IE and not firefox.

Here is the link.

If someone could be so kind as to help me figure out why it's incompatible with firefox?!

Thanks a million, guys...

Cheers!

Just a suggestion, that bright red kind of hurts ones eyes when trying to read when it blended with that blue, maybe you should make it a little darker so its easier for the eye? Maybe its just me tho.

And I don´t know why flash is not working since I know nothing about flash.

thanks guys......... appreciate the support.

GCFC, it worked...i had to download the addons.... (duh!) good call!

Now, why on earth doesn't the page have scrollbars?

Code:

<style type="text/css">    
    /* hide from ie on mac \*/
    html {
        height: 100%;
        overflow: hidden;
    }

Probably because of this. I have no idea what kind of coding you've got going on here, but firefox isn't showing scrollbars because you told it not to.

Probably. Although that might screw something else up. I don't know how tabled websites work any more after several people hounding me that divs are the only way to go.

When I'm done coding my own site I might go on and revamp your site for ya... And yes, get rid of the "overflow:hidden;" part in your CSS...

you could set overflow to 'auto' which would put a scroll bar in, but I think you have some other issues with your stylesheet. it shouldn't be cutting the page off like that anyhow.

alright, look...

obviously I'm not the best at this. I work 6 days a week, often getting home after 1 or even 2am. I don't have a lot of time, and I'm really trying hard to learn all this at once.

I don't have the time to kill that I used to.

However, I'm really giving it my best shot. I'm not an artist, and truthfully, webdesign is an art.

If you can tell me the top 3 things that you hate about it: the color, the layout, whatever...I will try to see what I can do. And give me suggestions! I value your input. You guys are harsh, but you guys would know because you are really familiar with the internet.

just help me out.
