hi<br />
i'm not sure where to post it, so i decided to be here<br />
<br />
i've a compliant XHTML 1.0 Transitional site - it validates, except when i add the code generated from flash which includes the forbidden embed tag. (without which opera viewers cant see the movie).<br />
My question is: how can i turn this around?<br />
I mean, having valid code and opera surfers seeing my .swf<br />
<br />
here goes the code:<br />
<br />
<object<br />
classid="clsid
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"<br />
codebase="http://Download <!--more-->.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"<br />
width="380" height="25" id="relogio" param<br />
name="movie" value="flash/r.swf" /><br />
<param name="quality" value="high" /><br />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><br />

<br />
thanks in advance<!--content-->if there isn't a tag that will work for other browsers then don't worry about it. I even use tags the w3.org don't like but it makes other browsers just work.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<PARAM name="Init_values" value="flash/r.swf" /><!--content-->thanks for answering!<br />

validating your code doesn't make it work in all browsers. If you want to cover a large browser audience, you'll see that the borg will drill you for using depreciated/ not valid code. however, it will render in your viewers browser. <br />
<br />
I'd shoot for well written code that 'mostly' complies with the standards, while being presentible to your target audience.<!--content-->thanks for helping<!--content-->>> I'd shoot for well written code that 'mostly' complies with the standards, while being presentible to your target audience. <<<br />

Although I send most web page authors towards the Validator, the above echoes my thoughts exactly. The Validator can be used to check for errors on several levels. It can still be useful even if you aren't going to write fully compliant code.
