Helps to prevent extra 22 or so px from being added to bottom of page

samyk commented 8 years ago

I'm concerned that this may not load in some browsers -- have you tested across major browsers? http://www.stoimen.com/blog/2009/04/08/flash-doesnt-load-in-div-with-display-none-style/

Interesting.. No, because admittedly I'm seeing fewer browsers using Flash on my analytics, but definitely found it was adding around 22 pixels at the bottom of my test pages. Perhaps changing the div that contains it to have width: 0, height: 0, overflow: hidden? I don't think it's doing that now, and that sounds like it would work around this issue while (hopefully) not mess up the layout at the bottom of the page.
