I find it highly unusual that people still believe EMBED should be rubber stamped by W3C when OBJECT has also been around for years. Perhaps you should be approaching browser manufacturers for better support of OBJECT instead of pushing their proprietary muck? The internet was created open and i really hope it stays that way. HTML 5 had a reasonable solution in the VIDEO and AUDIO tags until proprietary companies tried to force proprietary encodings into it. Now it is hamstrung by being watered down. Yes, i feel strongly about this. http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/video.html 4.8.7.1 4.8.8.1 http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2007/08/firefox-gets-experimental-support-for-the-video-element.ars -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416
