flash placeholder out of place

Post by al_9x »

Fx 2.0.0.20 & 3.5.3, NS 1.9.9.11, XP32SP3

http://www.tennisform.com/ placeholder appears at the left edge instead of the right.

I'm only seeing 1 placeholder, <OBJECT>, shockwave-flash@http://www.tennisform.com/includes/tennisform120x60.swf - with ads blocked (Adblock Plus).

When I unblock ads, I see 2 placeholders, both on the left, with one overlapping the other.
(The second placeholder, <OBJECT>, shockwave-flash@http://www.tennisform.com/includes/imag ... %26lang=EN)

Once allowed, they both do position themselves correctly.

The 120x60 on the left, & the larger ('better-at-home', or whatever it may be at a particular time) on the right.

So it looks only to be a matter of the placeholder positioning.

Confirmed. However I'm having a hard time at understanding what's happening exactly...

Here is another fx2 iframe placeholder regression related to the .26/.27 changes. It's more serious.

1) forbid iframes, allow live.com
2) goto https://login.live.com/login.srf?id=2
3) you get this:

4) if you activate the placeholder to uncover the login form, it gets hidden instead:

Backed out placeholder enhancements from Gecko 1.8.x.
Sorry, but there's no way to make them behave consistently on older Firefox versions.
