Hi!
Does anyone know the current thinking on using <OBJECT> and <EMBED>
tags? I know the embed tag is not part of any w3 spec, but I cannot
seem to get a flash movie to load on either netscape (4 or 6) or ie
(5) when using only the object tag.
Of course, enclosing the embed tag in the object one works fine --
but it made me curious to find out if anyone knew what the status of
the object tag was for multimedia (quicktime / flash / mp3?). And
yes, I did have a nosey around at www.w3.org -- and no, I didn't find
anything authoritative in their html4 or xhtml specs, or with the
search engine.
Any ideas?
