    Embed tag not found during Validation

    INVT Community Member
      The links to my flash does not work. IF I test the file out of the folder it is in using Bridge it works fine or through windows but when I bring it into DW and preview the links do not work.

      I sued the html Flash cs3 created and the links did not work so I added the Flash object and in DW and it still did not work then I validated the code and it tells me; The tag name: "embed" Not found in currently active versions.[XHTML 1.0 transitional] this is the page code:

      Any help is appreciated,

          <embed> is not a valid HTML tag, although it is required for some browsers.
          Your code will never validate when using DW's current insert Flash feature.
          However, this likely has nothing at all to do with your issue.

          Is the file containing the code below at the same folder level as the Flash
          files you have linked/embedded? That's where the links are pointing....

            Do you know why if the embed tag is not valid why is it still implemented when you ad the flash object and why is it also added when you publish the html for the swf. Is there a work around to fix it or is not that big of a deal and just leave it alone. I have updated the software but its still adds the embed tag.

            I know your just helping and I am not complaining and I appreciate your help. I did by the way fix my problem. I dropped the sideshow file into the directory through windows and it worked fine I really still don't know what the problem was but it works.

            I am just a little concerned if the tag is not valid how do I fix or do I need to and will it effect all of my flash objects.
            I know loaded question.

            Emdedded

            (just a little humor):)

              Some browsers do not support the <object>. It is required to use embed for
              those browsers.

              It's really not a big deal.

              Yes - for reasons stated above.

                Yes, the really old ones. In IE 6 and all modern browsers the support
                for the object element should be good enough.
