Browser issue .. IE versus FF

[dbelley_office]

Hi,

I have updated a website maybe a month ago. I changed the flash animation on the top.

On IE is shows the correct animation, but in FireFox, it just keeps showing the previous and incorrect animation. Why is that ? I cleared the cache and offline content, etc and it does not work still.

URL: This is the page
The correct animation is a young woman with glasses. Why FF is always showing me the older blond woman?

Any clues ?
Thank you.

Frustrating for you but this happens with Chrome as well. So I would assume if there is any JS involved in fetching the animation then it works fine IE but not in FF & Chrome.

Its an older blond woman also in Opera.

My mistake !!

Thanks to you rjv. Your comment made me review my code, I thought it was a browser issue, so I did not review my things, but it was not.

At first, I had this code

      <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="939" height="272" id="master" align="middle">
        <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
        <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
        <param name="movie" value="entete/fillelunette.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
        <embed src="entete/fillelunette.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="939" height="272" name="master" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" allowfullscreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />      
      </object></asp:Content>

I had only made the filename change in the first line in red-bold by mistake, but since it was working in IE, I thought it was all good. I had to OF COURSE change the code on the 2nd red-bold line. Now it works in all browsers.

So it was just an error caused by me wanting to do updates too quickly. Stupid me.

Good that you figured it out. But the surprise is why would IE ignore the embed attribute and others give it priority.

This is because IE is a law onto itself, and should never be trusted!!
