Hi all,

I think it is a bug of the Internet Explorer 8 with the idrop application:

I create a site that with earlier versions of Internet Explorer it works
O.K.
Now, open the site with Internet Explorer 8 I can't see the pictures, unless
the page was small and I rolled back the page,
then I can see the covered part. The drug and drop works O.K. even if I
can't see the pictures.
What can I do about it?

Any help will be good,
Thanks, Nirit

I agree, we are seeing the same thing. We have an enterprise mandate to go to IE8, but our custom iDrop application no longer works because all the images disappear. we have tried the Compatibility View of IE8 also, and it does no good. iDrop is dead.

I agree on some part for saying "i-Drop is not dead"

If you did not solve your problem you have it is not good to say it is dead.

It is a powerful application and is flexible which you can do a lot of things.

What is dead for me in i-Drop is I did not generate any money from it.

I have been supporting this group since 2003 and help many companies.

But I do not have anything on my hand from i-Drop

Hi,

I was able to fix it on my pages by putting a flash file at the top of the page. It seems that any flash file will work even a 1x1 transparent flash file that does not do anything.

It seems like a rediculous bug of IE8. Only takes a second to try and like i said cleared up all my problems.

Found the solution by starting with one of autodesk's pages that did work and deleting stuff until the idrop problem occured (which was when all the flash objects were gone)

hope this helps

Where can I find a 1x1 transparent Flash file to embed in my HTML files?

Or, are there any other workarounds? All of my thousands of idrop HTML files only show the first row of images in the tables - all others just look blank.

I don't know of any other work arounds. Once I fixed my pages i left it alone. Attached is a 1x1 transparent flash just put it somewhere at the top of your page. Please let me know if it worked for you too.

here is html

i guess forum doesn't like html in posts just use the wmode param and set it to transparent

param name="wmode" value="transparent" Edited by: millbor on Aug 5, 2009 8:18 AM

Can you attach the HTML in a text file?

I guess I am trying to do something like this:

div id=layer1 style="position:absolute; top:20; left:20; width:350; height:350; z-index:1; padding:0px;">
object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="300" height="300">
param name="movie" value="wmode.swf"
param name="quality" value="high">
param name="wmode" value="transparent">
embed src="wmode.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="300" wmode="transparent">
/div>

Here's the html for the flash object. I just have it after some text in a table at the top of my page. The idrop objects are in another table further down on the page.

Good Luck

Worked like a charm !!!! Now I just have to add that to 100+ html files...

Thanks, millbor...

Just want to post my positive results:

milbor's Flash fix worked for my I-drop icons.
