See the below url

http://dilenbonazzi.glimworm.com/_site1125/splash.html

after loading you'll see a white space on the right side of the browser
window

click on refresh and you will see that the table will go 100%, no white
spcae anymore.

When you click skip intro the next page is OK. and uses a similar
setup.

Any idea why this is?

That effect may be browser-specific, because I don't see any such thing
myself (Mozilla 1.6, Windows XP). (My browser also doesn't have a
"refresh" button, as it's always been called "reload" in Mozilla and
Netscape before that).

Which brings up the issue that your "skip intro" link is embedded in
your flash animation, which means that anybody who doesn't have the
proper plugin, or has disabled it, has no way of skipping the splash
page and getting into the main body of your site, and search engine
indexers similarly will have difficulty finding the rest of your pages.
You should have a plain "keep-it-simple-stupid" text link to the main
part of your site, if you persist in insisting on a pointless splash
page in the first place (something which has gone out of style in
recent years).

That is exactly what I experienced. Flash gets blocked on all the
browsers I use and for good reasons. I don't waste a single second with
people who do not provide an HTML fallback to their flash.

Firefox 1.0.4 :)
