I have created a demo for my personal business that is, essentialy, a website on a cd. Everything works beautifully in the Windows / IE world, but I have a couple of strange issues when viewed on Mac browsers.

The demo is very simple. 6 pages consisting of either 2 large .jpg files side by side with coordinates for links, or an .swf file on the left and a .jpg on the right. When the 2 files (for each page) are put together it looks like one continuous image.

The problem is that on Mac browsers, only on the pages with the .swf on the left and the jpg on the right, (not the pages with .jpgs only) the browser is forcing some sort of 3-4 pixel gap/border between the files. I'm using tables with defined sizes, and specifying absolutely NO borders of any kind. Why would the Mac browsers do this and not windows?

Normally I would just say screw it and make it a "Windows only" disc, but the field I work in primarily uses the Mac platform, and I don't want to alienate them.

Thanks!

Have you tried css and defined object {padding:0;margin:0;} -- I'm assuming object is the tag you used for the .swf file.

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn't seem to work either. No matter how many ways I tell it to eliminate any kind of border, it still shows up. Only in Mac browsers.

did you find out the root cause?
I have the same problem... .swf followed by a jpg file, there is a white space, 3-4 pixels in between... have been trying to fix the problem for few days... still no clue at all.
