Flash banner ad in sidebar wrong size

  • I am trying to run a standard flash banner ad (300×250), delivered by a commercial ad server, in the right sidebar of my site https://www.OldSaybrookNow.com (Shoreline East Train ad). Problem I am having is the ad won’t format properly in sidebar (smaller than supposed to be). But if I place it in the body (see example on right side of website) it formats and runs perfectly. Weird thing is, other Flash ads (eg those served by GoogleAds etc) work fine.

    Any help in where to start looking would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    N.

  • Hi,

    On line 1254 of your style.css stylesheet you have the following entry that is formatting your ad incorrectly.

    #sidebar embed, #sidebar object, #sidebar-alt embed, #sidebar-alt object {
height:225px;
margin:10px 0 0;
padding:0;
width:300px;
}

    by removing the height property then it looks as expected you could also set it to height:250px; if desired.

    I have created a standard Flash banner for my website, which is on the homepage at the top left, however the background comes up as black to fill the empty space. How can i change the size of the banner to either fil the space, or set the empty space to be white?
