I've been working on a new template for my business site and have run into a weird issue in Firefox that I've never come across before. The site displays as I want it in IE (Win) and Safari, but has a huge gap above the flash content in FF on both platforms. My brain's a bit fried, so I'm probably missing something obvious, but I'd appreciate any help.

Have you tried the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox? It allows you to outline elements. Using that, I outlined the object tag. The gap is in the object tag. I assume it comes from the <br /> tags in front of the parameters.

Nice! Thanks Dagonee!

I looked everywhere but *in* the object tag itself - 'cause *I* didn't put those </ br> tags there. Turns out the module generating my random headers is adding them... [Mad]

The larger suggestion is to get that toolbar for firefox. I don't know how I developed without it in the past. It's amazing for figuring out why extra space shows up, or why things don't line up.

Not to mention it will let you edit CSS while you are viewing a page, and it will do stuff like outlinking what images don't have alt tags.

That developers bar ROCKS. I have been using it for about 6 months now, and I never want to see it go away.
