Using SWFObject 2.1, alternate content in IE8 and IE7 has messed up text styling...

[mikethevike]

I just noticed this and have been trying to figure out why its
happening. When Flash is disabled I have alternate content in the form
of a small box that directs users to download flash. The text in the
box should be 12px, and that's the way it is set in the css file. In
other browsers the text looks fine and everything fits in the box. In
IE 7/8 The text is huge and overflows the box. I made a test file that
has the same code minus the swfobject code and it displays fine in IE
7/8. Any ideas?

The site is http://www.moxiedisplays.com

The test file is at http://www.moxiedisplays.com/test.html

There are a few html errors in the first link that are not in the second

I would check if the issue is still there after correcting these

both have an extra closing tag - I can't see how swfobject would cause this.

How embarassing! I fixed the errors and everything worked out ok.
Thank you!
