CFForm: Flash forms don't display in IE when they're in a table

I am using the following code to display a basic flash form. It works fine in Firefox, but does not display at all in Explorer. If the format of the form is changed to html instead of Flash it works, or if I take it out of the table it works. It will have to be displayed in a table however because this is a content managed site & I can't change that part of the code.

Is there any way to get a Flash form to work in IE if it's in a table?


<table>
<tr>
<td>
<cfform format="flash">
<cfoutput><cfgrid name="PubsGrid" query="rstPubs">
</cfgrid></cfoutput>
</cfform></td>
</tr>
</table>
 
I think i had a problem like this once upon a time. if memory serves you need to give the flash movie a height and width:

Code:
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
    <cfform format="flash" [COLOR=#ff0000]height="100" width="100"[/color]>
          <cfoutput><cfgrid name="PubsGrid" query="rstPubs">
        </cfgrid></cfoutput>
</cfform></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Give that a try

Hope this helps!

It worked! Thanks a lot. I've been searching online for a while about that & found a lot of people with the same problem, but no solutions. It seems like I don't really even need the width. As long as the height is in there it works.
