Myspace BS

So, I posted earlier about how I had upgraded my Myspace profile. What I didn’t notice, was that my profile was semi-broke in Firefox. After TONS of research, I figured out the problem. Apparently there’s a bug in Firefox that doesn’t like it when a DIV with overflow:auto is activated along with a Flash object that has the param wmode=transparent. Why it has this bug, I don’t know, but I did check Bugzilla and it seems to be documented by a few different users, although nobody’s currently working on the problem. *Sigh* So much for Open Source fixing bugs quickly (this has been documented as a bug since 1.0.5 and possibly earlier).
With that bug fixed, I went ahead and replaced one of my Flash widgets that showed different sites I was on. Seems how Myspace disabled links from Flash objects, it was kind of worthless. I went ahead and replaced the widget with a static HTML version and customized it a little bit. Works like a charm!
