Me too. And I am getting sick of being reminded how many x-co-workers of mine ("real" Canadians) liked Swiss (Canadian) Chalet: blech.

I use Adblock Plus on Firefox, so everything is fine here!

Nope. Everything is fine on mine.

So people... If you want to use the search feature, buy a Mac. Thanks.

 

[Prometheus The Supremo]

it seems to be fixed now. but the difference now is that there's a GIF banner advert for urban toronto. before there was a flash banner advert. maybe the flash advert caused the problem?

Or install Safari on Windows.

 

[Prometheus The Supremo]

it's still happening. it happens whenever the banner is a flash file.

It works fine on Firefox on a Mac too. So is it just Internet Explorer on Windows that it does not work with? And which Windows, BTW?

this might be useful:


Editing HTML code manually

To edit an existing HTML page, add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code.

1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"

this is actually a mode the does the same as above but with better system performance:

If you prefer to edit your HTML by hand, there are two areas you need to tweak:

1. To the Object tag, add the following parameter (opaque is shown as an example):

<param name="wmode" value="opaque">

2. To the Embed tag, add the following attribute:

wmode="opaque"

this is how it looks..

the problem is caused with

no wmode set

.

I'll look into it. No problem here but I use a MAC.

The problem has nothing to do with OS, but everything to do with code and browser you use apparently.
