That's because the HTML 4.0 spec itself did not validate to existing browsers -- EMBED was used before Microsoft introduced OBJECT, and the W3C later followed a form of OBJECT but without advice on bringing the world's existing browsers on board. (Me, I don't care about whatever tag the browsers use for extended content, just so long as it calls up the Netscape Plugin correctly, without loss of other functionality. Drew's "Satay" article a few years back noted how some of the current browsers did with only OBJECT, but he only tested for visibility, not for adverse effects on streaming, printing, data-transfer or other issues in the varied browsers when omitting the EMBED tag they document.) jd -- John Dowdell .
