Problems with CakePHP - follow-up

Some people have responded including the Datepicker fame Marc Grabanski . So, this follow-up... First of all, I was not ranting nor complaining; I've just blogged/documented my experience. The common problem most of the people pointed out are that it scales for addons.mozilla.com.

Solved: Safari Flash full screen issue

Some common problems when trying to use Flash video embed code (e.g., YouTube like embed code) 1. When using lightbox on the page, it's getting hidden behind the Flash video player Solution: Add wmode="transparent" to the embed tag 2. On IE7, getting "click to activate" Solution: Inject the embed code through JavaScript. (Useful libraries: jQuery Flash Plugin , SWFObject ) 3. XHTML validation issue Solution: Use unobtrusive JavaScript embedding. (Useful libraries: jQuery Flash Plugin , SWFObject ) 4. On Safari the full screen doesn't work -- even if we add allowfullscreen="true" (this is the issue I faced lately and google wasn't helpful). In all other browsers, it works fine. Solution: Add type="application/x-shockwave-flash" to the embed tag
