The <embed ...></embed> in your example is an old element from the time of the "browser wars" that never made it into an official Web standard. And a few old browsers not understanding <object ...> might actually do something with it for simple Flash objects. But because it was never official the W3C validator can't accept it as "valid" - without tricks like using an unofficial definition saying that it is valid no matter what. You could ignore the error message if you think that some old browser can handle the "embedded" Flash object, can handle anything else that's essential on your page, but is lost without the <embed ...></embed> construct. Old browser isn't say IE6, I mean Netscape 3.x or similar, *really* old. Possibly you use features where such old browsers are anyway lost, then it makes no sense to offer the obsolete <embed ...></embed>, you could remove it, and find help pages explaining how to improve the <object ...> for such situations. The validator is just a script, it tells you that <embed ...></embed> is not valid. What you do with this info is your decision. > YOU CAN SEE IT IN LINK www.dizajnlab.com If "dizajn lab" means what I think it means you are supposed to find, read, and understand the pages explaining the details of "embed" ;-) Frank
