You are absolutely correct, thank you for your help.
As for the plugin, I don’t really need to embed the flash file within the page, I just want it to open up in a new tab and take up the entire viewport of the new tab, so what I’ve done works well for that. Thank you for the recommendation though!
I’m not sure what I was thinking lol, I should have realized floats would just be pushed down. I tried putting a clear both div underneath it, but that didn’t work either.
Unfortunately the grid system isn’t an option for me, after a couple days of trying to fix the ‘Slideshow’ plugin I just switched to the ‘Meteor Slides’ plugin and it works as I wanted, even if it doesn’t have as many features as the ‘Slideshow’ plugin.
Thanks for your quick reply though.
