Remove dotted border (outline) around the SWF on Firefox 3

Posted by shote on 02/24/10

If you use the Simple Viewer Gallery module probably you'll meet the problem described below.

Firefox 3.x on Windows using wmode transparent or opaque is introducing a new default style for the object element - it treats it like an active link.

This Firefox implementation deviates from Firefox 3 on Mac, previous Firefox versions on Windows and the default style for the embed element, so it is therefore likely to be a Firefox bug.

So you need to put this in your style sheet in order to solve this issue:

object { outline:none; }

@see SWFobject documentation at: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/faq
