This is actually an old post from the blog that I managed to destroy whilst upgrading wordpress, but it is quite useful (and geeky if you like) so I thought I’d reprint it here…
As any regular(ish) visitors know, my site has changes a bit over the last month, it’s been tidied up and ‘flashed’ up as well. What was once still is moving and all the better for it.
However, I was proud that I had got my home page W3C compliant. Then I had the flash put in and it all went to buggery!!!
Well… The main problem here is that I was using the <embed> tag that the W3C really doesn’t like.
and isn’t W3C compliant. Here is a link to an extremely helpful site that explains the ‘double-satay’ method extremely well.Using this method in Dreamweaver it is extremely easy to replace the coding of the flash insertion whilst retaining the shape of the site and your W3C validation - which, in the world of SEO can only help you!
See you soon
