Question Re: Flash in xCart ... continued

I'm a bit out of my element here ... Errors/Failure with the JW Player, and ONLY in Internet Exploder. (intentional sarcasm)

Maybe someone here with more understanding the various X-Cart conflicts has an idea. I've attached a few images/text files.

In IE the JW player is giving an xID error. I tried searches for an explanation on xID errors and have not found anything that addresses what I'm seeing, or possible causes. I do not know where this value is being created (see attached ie.jpg image):

xid=a7e7d6b17a28bc4d39a7c901da1eee5e3

I "believe" this is being caused by my FCKeditor in XCART because it is crashing the editor "only" on the static page being created. (UPDATED: My site does use a tweaked version of the SEO scripts [not Jon's]. Is there a possibility of an xID script from .htaccess and SEO?).

Below are my comments / testing to the developer of JW Player as to what I've done so far to isolate the problem.

Quote:
The page(s) worked fine both before I add the player code, and after I remove it. It has to be in conflict (my guess) with another script on the page, or in how IE is interpreting the combined script(s). I feel it definitely has something to do with the FCKeditor used to create the static page content, but confused as to why it is only an IE specific error (other than the obvious, that it is IE).

-----------------------
TESTING:

1) Commented out the code on the "ringers' page - it still crashes FCKeditor in backend (admin area) of that specific page, as well as in the browser (very ODD). I've attached two copies of the test .php file .... normal, and commented. For reference the FCKeditor (admin side) breaks in all browsers once the script is in place. (see attached image)
2) Created generic (outside of X-Cart) page: http://www.centuryperformance.com/page_001.php (works fine)
3) Created a NEW page (I have NOT viewed it yet) at: http://www.centuryperformance.com/static_pages.php?pageid=230

Go look at that page, then try refreshing.

-------------------------

Did you look at the source code to see if anything looked strange? I'm 'fair' at troubleshooting, but I'm not a coder. I can get in and muster around a few changes, but I suck at Java. I use a Firefox add-on to look at the source because it offers more detail.

I have numerous pages on the site with identical code (less player). X-Cart can be a bitch sometimes with scripts. If they are in the outer modules I have to use {literal} tags, but that does not work in the central static page content and only shows up as text.

You can see using the "Manufacturer" dropdown at far left of each page that I have hundreds of static pages working fine.

What is the most odd is say I insert the code in ANY of the static pages, and it will play ONE time. From then on it will crash. When I delete the script the page works fine. I even had a few friends try it out. If the page had "already' crashed ONCE they could not open it. If I created a page and did not preview it myself, just provide them a link, they can open the page ONE time and see the video. After that, the page fails to open for everyone.

I've tried closing </noscript> tags and researched other possibilities. By your forums it seems many others are having the same problem. I have a couple other scripts that compile the page as a whole (nothing in the "static" section) ... but again, your script works fine in all other browsers. I've dumped all the cookies and the cache is cleared at every browser shutdown.

Using WMV (works fine in all browsers), but I want to use a flash type player: http://www.centuryperformance.com/precision-performance-spg-58.html

Any help here is appreciated.
