Actually my thought was the maybe the problem only occurs on a Mac. I could not
find a page that would display incorrectly
for me on a PC. Then again, I never found one with more than 2 charts.
I notice that your GET string for the swf file uses & in the place of &.
Why? I've never done that, and never had a
problem with using & directly in a GET string. You might want to play around
with that and see what it buys you.
