Re: embed element within object tag not validating?

Mark,

<embed> is deprecated - just use the object tag (remove the embed line
from your page code). That works fine for me in NS4x-6+ and IE5+ on PC -
haven't tried it on the mac yet, but you should be fine I believe,
though you might also want to add a title attribute value.

When validating http://www.gcflearnfree.org with an HTML validator, we
find
out that <embed> is not part of html 4.01 and therefore does not
validate.
We do not use flash often and it is only used as supplemental material
to
information presented. Any ideas on how to make it validate?

TIA,
mark
