I don't know if this will help, but I added hyper links to my <object> vs
<embed> test page. As per different browser they all work differently.

I don't know what [an error occurred while processing this directive] this
is doing there! lol

Hi Germ
its just for a flash file which will act as the banner for the top of the
webpage
You will need the <object> … </object> tag.
Check out this excellent article ... I work this way, and code is
widley supported by browsers, and passes validation.

thanks for links and help
As for your second question:
Also when i tried putting the <a href> tags on either side so that it was
a link, it didnt work. any special reason??
I would think that it is because <embed> … </embed> is a block-level
elements, and <a> … </a> is an inline element; From the W3:
Generally, block-level elements may contain inline elements and other
block-level elements. Generally, inline elements may contain only data
and other inline elements. Inherent in this structural distinction is the
idea that block elements create "larger" structures than inline elements.
