Re: [WSG] Validating Flash

Tim MacKay provided the following information on 27/03/2008 4:37 PM:

Hi List,

 

My question is about embedding Flash on html pages (just certain 
elements -- not talking about full flash sites). I always get errors 
from HTML Tidy and the validator about the object and embed tags, 
which wrecks my validated markup. What is the standards-compliant way 
to embed Flash elements so that my site validates and stops throwing 
errors?

 

Thanks,

Tim



Hi Tim,

I always use the following code and my pages always validate. 

Is it standards compliant? Someone can answer that for me perhaps...
