Question : Sharepoint document saving

Hi All,

I trying to get a handle on the structure of Sharepoint and how it handles the saving of documents and hoped that someone here had an idea.

When you edit a sharepoint document I assume that behind the scenes SharePoint checks the file, copies a working copy to your PC and then opens the document to be edited. When you come to save the document - how does this work? Is there a SharePoint client on the local PC which detects the document having been saved and then uploads it back to the server or is there a different mechanism in place.

Any comments on how this process works in SharePoint would be most gratefully received!

Answer : Sharepoint document saving

In fact it's the other way round, IE puts the border on the inside and FF follows the W3C standard of putting it on the outside, but none of this should matter as your doctype is strict which forces all browsers to follow the same standards (even then IE6 & 7 aren't perfect).

maybe it's a bug in swfobject?
Try embedding the flash movie like in the snippet I've attached, it seems to work...
