Subject:	Re: FLASH: flash disappears sometimes (netscape)

Wow, thats one messed up site. I saw no Flash at all on MSIE4.5/Mac though I
did see some javascript code lying around : "document.write(' ');
document.write(' '); } else if (!(navigator.appName &&
navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")>=0 &&
navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")>=0)){ document.write('" for example.

It also opened up way too wide for my 17" at 832x624, I couldn't scroll over
and had to move the browser partly off-screen to see the right side of the
page.

Tried it in Netscape 4.6 (mac) stil no flash that I could see, also no
javascript code that I could see on the page, there was an animated gif at
the lower right (after I moved the browser window over so I could see it,
are they authoring on a 21" or what?) advising me to 'click here', but it
didn't do anything when I did. When I looked in Netscape's page Info, I
could see that there was an swf on the page, and there I could click it,
etc. but it appears that for some reason the animated gif is taking its
place?

In NS 4.08 on my Win98 box, the page size was ok (that box has a 17" set to
1024x768) and the flash showed up fine. Not sure what problem is on NT (my
NT boxes are at my other job), but I'd say the page needs serious re-design
if PMAS cares about cross platform and notebook support.
