Correction... it was the ShockRave site that said they didn't recommend

IE/Mac, mainly because it couldn't tell JavaScript whether it had the

players or not.


You can definitely play Flash content in IE/Mac. Yes, it's different

from

other browsers, but then again, what isn't...? ;-)


For the original pages of "boB", I went there, and clicked links, and

burrowed through the framesets, and the page I *guess* you might be

talking

about just a regular 100% sizing applied to the SWF.  This generally

sizes

itself to the window, no problem.


For the person you're talking with on the other end of the phone, try

starting with the usual one-or-all tests... can they see

known-to-be-good

sites normally on that machine? Suppose you use the same content in a

new

window... can they see that normally? By removing the variables one at a

time you can most quickly find the difference-that-makes-a-difference.


(If I had to *guess* the reason she's not seeing the bottom of the movie

then I'd wonder whether there was something in front of the monitor, but

I

realize this has a very low chance of being the actual cause at play

there.... ;-)
