XHTML 1.0 - Embed element and FLASH problem

[cssrules]

Greetings...


I have written some code (XHTML 1.0 transitional) which validates fine. The

page is ok under IE4+ and Mozilla 1.0+...

My problem are some FLASH animations....Validating with the embed element in

the code (in the object element) triggers an error on the validator. Removing

the element <embed>, FLASH appears on IE but under Mozilla nothing...

Is the embed tag deprecated...?

Can someone shed some light.....?Help.....!

No, embed was never even in the specs. It's an old proprietary NS tag.

The correct tag to use is <object>

This article show exactly how to do it correctly
