Embedding Flash with valid XHTML Strict
I’m not much of a Flash person myself but after recently re-designing a website I came across some embedded Flash files.
After performing a general tidy up of the markup (the content had to be maintained) I noticed that the markup for the embedded flash didn’t validate in XHTML transitional let alone XHTML Strict.
After some playing around, and narrowing down the markup, the following flash XHTML markup validates as Strict.
1 2 3 | <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash_directory/flash_file.swf" width="512" height="256"> <param name="movie" value="flash_directory/flash_file.swf" /> </object> |

Damn, that sound’s so easy if you think about it.

Yep, as with most things when it comes to web designing in strict! heh
