The top graphic on the www.x-on.co.uk site displays correctly in FF2 and in other browsers such as IE and Safari. Since FF3 was introduced a gap appears under Flash animations, most notably on the inner pages (e.g. http://www.x-on.co.uk/products_callcentre.htm) where the top left logo is Flash and so the top header graphic appears broken up.

I've stripped the <script type="text/javascript">RunLogoswf();</script> and the <noscript> tags and it still does the same thing.

I've noticed this gap on other sites as well.

Thanks.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just view the page in FF3
2.
3.

I also see the gap in IE8 RC1 with no Flash plugin installed.

rmoving the white-space at the end of the <object> element ought to fix this.
