Using Firefox I can see my Box.net collaborative widget displaying on my homepage. In IE it seems to be ignoring the script and displays nothing as if the script was not there.

Could someone have a look at this? Here is the code that is not displaying:
<embed src="http://www.box.net/static/flash/box_explorer.swf?widgetHash=99ypjc3g09&v=1" width="100%" height="400" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
I would like to delete/remove this code from this post after this is resolved as it is my own account.
Thanks
Hey Jonathan,
I think the issue here is that you should try using an OBJECT tag with PARAM tags under it. Sometimes, IE prefers that syntax, instead of the standard EMBED tag. Here's we do all of the embeds for our video tour:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="viddler" height="520" width="720">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/39b3426b/">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never">
<param name="autoPlay" value="true">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/39b3426b/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="true" name="viddler" height="520" width="720">
</object>
Basically, what it's doing, is that is has an EMBED under the OBJECT tag. The OBJECT tag gets ignored by compliant browsers. IE ignores the EMBED tag under the OBJECT tag. This works everywhere, and it's the default for video sites like Viddler.
Didnt work
