 * my website is [http://www.comedyimpressionist.com](http://www.comedyimpressionist.com)
 * I have a widget down the right side showing a contact form.
 * I’m using Display Widget to show on certain pages.
 * I have it set to show on the homepage and Videos.
 * However, although it shows properly on the homepage, in Videos there is just ‘
   Form Object’ written.
 * If I just write text in the widget it does show up on both pages.
 * the code I’m using for the form is –
 * <script type=”text/javascript” src=”swfobject.js”></script><div id=”CC6258465″
   >Form Object</div><script type=”text/javascript”>var so = new SWFObject(“contactform.
   swf”, “contactform.xml”, “201”, “445”, “7,0,0,0”, “#ffffff”);so.addParam(“classid”,“
   clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000”);so.addParam(“quality”, “high”);so.
   addParam(“scale”, “noscale”);so.addParam(“salign”, “lt”);so.addParam(“FlashVars”,“
   xmlfile=contactform.xml&w=201&h=445”);so.write(“C C6258465”);</script>
 * so why will the html show properly on the homepage and not the others? They are
   both static pages.
 * following another thread I installed HTML javascript Adder plugin but that had
   the same results.
 * really tried to work it out myself but can’t.

 * You could try using absolute (full) urls instead of relative urls in your Flash
   code.
