Hey all, I'm still learning about doctypes...this is driving me crazy. Every time I try to correct an error I seem to get others when running it through the validator here:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbig7records.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ype=Inline</a><!-- m -->
Maybe I have the wrong doctype altogether? Formatted wrong?
If I can just get that part situated I think I can fix the other errors. If someone could look @ my code I would sure appreciate it!
Thanx, Mike

to find out how to embed flash without html errors. Seeing from your code the flash code you are using has /> on the end. In HTML you don't need the /> it just becomes >. In XHTML you do need /> but I don't think you are ready for XHTML yet.First off- BIG NO NO!
Key word with Web Designing and Development is Accessibility. Without the plugin installed, your website is "invisible".
Some people have to use Screen Readers etc, and most (all?) readers wont read Flash or animated links.
Consider using an alternative, or use ALT tags.Thanx for the helpful article. I'm working on converting over the flash embedding.
So CSS is the alternative to tables I suppose...I'll have to Google for an easy way to make the change.
What about the doctype?Use an HTML 4.01 strict doctype.
