ASP.Net Login Wrapper and Flash Cutoff Problem

Question

Hi, I've written a login page in ASP.Net to go with the Sample Flex Viewer. If a unauthenticated user visits our Flex page, he/she will be redirected to the login page. In order to do that, I have to use an ASP.Net wrapper to convert the index.html to index.aspx. The "wrapping" operation was done by manually adding ASP elements and then renaming it. However, the resulting Flex Viewer page is always cutoff'ed (see attached image). I'm sure it's something very simple that I just overlooked, but it's driving me crazy. On the side note, this only happens in Firefox but works just fine in IE 6. If anyone can please shed some light on this, I'll be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

. There is a javascript solution to this problem which is caused by IE being rubbish and not catering for percentage values in height attribute of an object (or an iframe). This means you can still have standards compliant aspx page (ie not remove the doctype).

I have seen this before.
To fix it simply remove the DOCTYPE  markup out of your page...

Hopefully that solves it.
