This works for me and validates as XHTML Transitional and it displays
cross browser. I'm using this for Flash.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/islnav.swf"
width="750" height="122">
<param name="movie" value="images/islnav.swf" />
<img src="images/header.jpg" width="750" height="122"
alt="header" /> </object>
See it in action here:

Hi Sajith,
You'll find that there isn't currently a method for insetting Flash or
other media that:
1. Validates to XHTML
2. Displays reliably cross browser, cross platform.
Currently the best advice is to validate media content pages as HTML
v4 transitional.
The other option, which is cheating, is to use JavaScript to write the
object / embed elements into the HTML.
The page validates but the code is not valid.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [WSG] Embed tag, <object> and web standards
Hello
Jaime of sodesires told me about this site and nice to see that a lot
of healthy discussion is going on here.
I came to know about web standards very recently and i'm trying to do
a site implementing it. In one of the pages i have to play windows and
real media and for that i'm using a combination of <object> and
<embed> tags. But <embed> is not supported by w3c and object tag alone
didn't display the player for me in mozilla. I found a similar issue
solved for flash at alistapart.com. Has anyone ecountered this before
for media players.
Any suggestions/help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration
