Malpractice Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi I use dreamweaver to save on the repetative tasks, filemanagement and links, but I am trying to hand code most of the site,I am running validate on dw8 and I get this, it is related to the flash buttons I have used, what can I do about it to validate my site to standards (and please feel free to say if I am way off the mark)The tag name: "embed" Not found in currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0 transitional]I have about 30 instances of this coming up as I have used it on everypage. any suggestions what I am doing wrong? or how to validate my site please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 The <embed> tag is not part of any HTML or XHTML standard. You should use <object> instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malpractice Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 would just replacing embeded with the word object be sufficient, or do I need watch for other variables when I do it? (I am a bit unsure here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 <object> is used differently than embed.Here's how a Flash document is embedded with the <object> tag: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="file.swf" width="500" height="440"> <!-- For Internet Explorer --> <param name="movie" value="file.swf"></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
