I received a [VE][246] "unclosed start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES" error
message in the following line:

<param name="movie" value="pics/logo.swf" />

The whole HTML part where it's in looks like this:

<div id="contentintro">
	<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="pics/logo.swf" width="800" height="335"
	<param name="movie" value="pics/logo.swf" />
	</object>
</div>

Can anyone tell me what this means and possibly how to solve it?

TIA,
Arno
