My guess is that it may require some sort of JavaScript href / link interception and redirection on the object page. May be tricky. Regards, Michael

I ran across that very snag. I haven’t dug to deep into a fix yet.

Very helpful. One snag that I can see. In a browser that accepts application/xhtml+xml and therefore uses the object code, try clicking on one of the thumbnails. In my testing with Safari for windows, Firefox 3 and Opera, they all try to load the Flickr page in the embedded object rather than the main window. Are you seeing this and if so any ideas on a fix?

Another note about programming. It is amazing how many things are out in the virtual world. Keeping up with them, or keeping up with your friends who do a better job than you at keeping up with them is an effort in itself. But keeping up with them, helps in the long-run when trying to find the best way to keep on track of a project.

This is fantastic. It is hard to find people who don’t mind sharing their knowledge. Many people can use this as a great example to get going!!!

Good point! I personally have unlimited text messaging. It is not carrier specific.

Mind you, I do believe there is a difference between unlimited “in-network” text and unlimited text messaging. Don’t get caught by that one.

Amen to that my friend. I think the lesson learned here applies to many aspects of our job. Little tidbits like “Keep it simple” and “Stick to the basics” fall short because what we do in no way can be described as simple or basic. What we must do, and do well, is execute the fundamentals of our trade. It just doesn’t hurt to review what those fundamentals are from time to time.
