    Undesired offset with Flash object

    EntWebDS Community Member
      I have a frameset with CSS attached. There are two frames - a top frame that is used for a header and a main frame where target pages are loaded. When previewing the page design view in DW, the main frame is offset to the left about 10 px and I cannot figure out why. Still, it displays properly in a browser UNTIL I place a Flash object on any page that is targeted for the main frame, and then the misalignment anomaly occurs in browsers (IE and Firefox) as well. All other target pages load without offsetting to the left.

      I have searched my CSS in vain for clues.

      Please point me in the right direction!

          Hello,

          If you could post a link someone might be able to determine why it's
          happening by looking at the code.

          In the meantime, you might want to consider all the negative issues involved
          with using frames.
          There may be some you haven't seen or even imagined yet.
          It might make the flash alignment issue a moot point.
