    is there a way to put alternative flash object in xslt

    Hi Guys,

    I'm trying to to embed a flash video in our site. It turns out the param object is not working with the other browser. So I try to use this code

    <!--[if !IE]>-->
           <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$virtual/umbracoFile}" width="500" height="400">
          <!--<![endif]-->
          <!--[if !IE]>-->
           </object>
          <!--<![endif]-->

    but then my page displays differently whenever I try to insert this code. Is there another way of doing it?

     

    Thanks,

    Sherry

    Hi Sherry,

    Yes, you can do that - you just have to know how to generate comments in the output (regular comments in an XSLT file will just be ignored as they are, well, comments :-)

    You can do this:

       <xsl:comment><![CDATA[[if !IE]>]]></xsl:comment>
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$virtual/umbracoFile}" width="500" height="400">
    <xsl:comment><![CDATA[<![endif]]]></xsl:comment>
    <xsl:comment><![CDATA[[if !IE]>]]></xsl:comment>
        </object>
    <xsl:comment><![CDATA[<![endif]]]></xsl:comment>
    (Unfortunately, the CDATA Sections don't add to the readability of it, but they free you from having to escape the less-than characters in the comments)
