Very interesting. I wish I had checked the bug tracker when someone
reported a similar problem with the clueTip plugin causing a Flash
object to reload. I just assumed I was doing something dumb.
What surprised me about that case in particular was that the Flash
object only reloaded when the div that was being show/hidden was
appended to the body. When we put the show/hide div inside a
container div, the problem with the Flash reloading went away.

The bug still exists. It occurs for any embedded content (Flash,

Here are two links to two linked bugs... one's open for the past 6
years :(
move plugins to content - plugins should withstand a reframe of the
object frame

Maybe Firefox 3 will fix this? We can only hope.

I have a page with a slideDown menu. It also contains a number of
Java
applets. This causes a problem on Firefox 2.0.0.6. If a Java
applet is
running and I click the link to slide down the menu the applet
reloads. It doesn't do it on slideUp, and neither slideDown nor
slideUp provokes any applet reloading on IE6, IE7, or Opera. There's
no reloading on any browser I've tested if I use fadeIn instead of
slideDown. So my temporary fix is to browser-detect and fadeIn for
Mozilla and slideDown for everything else.
I'd love to know what is caused the applet reload on Firefox, though.
Can anyone shed any light?
