FF6.0.2 NS 2.1.4

Non-issue??

Can reproduce.

You also get the following strange "Errors" in the error console? Maybe related?

The player <object> is styled "display: none" (hence no placeholder) and is later toggled visible by script called from another flash object, geo.swf.

The page needs to be script allowed, then if you activate geo.swf (via the menu) the placeholder appears, then you can activate the player.

Even after allowing the page the flash object does not appear. If this is as per rule , might be NS has to make an exception , so that people know that a video file is hiding somewhere in this page.

you missed a step, "then if you activate geo.swf (via the menu) the placeholder appears"

Ok then .Where is the placeholder for geo.swf which is supposed to be present?

Its container div is styled to be outside the view port (i.e. invisible), so no visible placeholder.

I remember reporting a similar issue on some other page (of absent placeholder , but indicated in the context) and it was sorted out. Might be if it is similar Giorgio could make an exception. At least one would not be left clueless.

Anything on this Giorgio?
