After many hours, I have stripped out ALL of my tables, and all my flash buttons (which I had slaved over), and rebuilt everything piece by piece (not that it looks much better). This was mostly done because all the complaints I got about flash buttons, and non-compliancy. Ok, now there is ONE flash image which I would LIKE to keep on my page. Is it possible to have just one small flash-imagne on my page, and still have it validate? I embeded the flash with Dreamweaver and this gives me about 7 errors from the validator. Seems it wants me to strip out almost everything, but certainly the movie wouldn't have anything to even support itself. The flash code looks as follows: Is that ugly? Hopefuly I can still keep it and keep things compliant?
The embed tag was made by Netscape, and it is not compliant. I think the smiley face earns some bonus points though A list Apart has a good article on it.
Well that was an interesting article. I tried to use and, and the good news is I got my html to valid, the bad news is that the flash just refused to run (or be found) using the code. The structure listed was this: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="c.swf?path=movie.swf" width="400" height="300"> <param name="movie" value="c.swf?path=movie.swf" /> </object> I tried to follow that, but like I said, it just refuses to find my irtc.swf file:: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="c.swf?path=/irtc.swf" width="468" height="60"> <param name="movie" value="c.swf?path=/irtc.swf" /> </object> Maybe browsers changed, or I am missing the obvious again.
Ok, I went re-read through the site, tinkered around some more... and got it to work. Thanks for the link.
