I having these two errors in Dreamweaver CS3 in IE. Some one please help very frustating. I can only view webpage in FF and not IE. In order to view Flash in IE i must allow pop up to view video. I get errors as per Dreamweaver with these two links.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="shadowbox.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="shadowbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Shadowbox.init();
</script>

<link href="site_flash/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="site_flash/layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
.style

Post a link to a test page.

works ok in IE 7 / XP SP3. So?

Not sure what the problem is because it looks ok to me in IE8.

What errors were you getting?

btw - maybe consider giving the user the option to play the Flash video rather than play it automatcally on page load, or at least turn the sound down or even off. I nearly had heart failure with the unexpected blaring audio :p

Use Fire Fox and FlashBlock add-on ;). I think IE8 has a similar tool...

I prefer to use IE8.

It probably does but I'm sure many non computer-savvy www surfers might not be aware of it :D hence my suggestion.

The popup to allow the Flash happens in IE only when testing locally... just a local security issue and does not occur once that page is uploaded to server. So "allow" and continue to test locally.
As for error messages from Dreamweaver.. don't rely too much on Dreamweaver to validate your code. Go to

Looks like you have a few improperly closed tags. Fix those and you should be good to go.

I was able to fix it. Thanks to everyone that responded.

It seems I had overlooked something in the heading that was not loading the css for flash.

I will look into lowering the volume or changing the sound, it is a little loud now that you mention it.
