  • I looked at that awhile back and from what can tell, it may be a limitation of the validator, not that the code is necessarily incorrect for the object tag – at least as far as I could tell from looking at the standards. I would take out the media player, validate your page and then plug it back in.

    That being said, you may find you will want to leave out the player as it does not “play well” in the menu (given that the menu is refreshed on every click of a link in the blog). If you want a player it probably should be in a pop-up window.

    oh hi beel….yeah maybe a good idea….
    funny isnt it,why doesnt the player validate ?
    Ive checked it with your site beel,and yours doesnt validate either…
    but mine has also problems with the top image…..the logo..
    i cant understand why…. ??

    Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to take it out after you looked at it… I’ll look at your blog and get back to you.

    well i took the playercode out but still much errors but all about the damn images.
    so isnt there a way to include the player somehow…?

    I looked at the errors – no such tag as <id=”header”> maybe <h1 id=”header”>? You could include the player but every time someone looks at another post, etc., it will reload – kinda like the power going off constantly on the boob tube. To circumvent that you would have to have something like a javascript popup window.

    well i even tried just yet to include the player but that isnt accepted also….
    btw….using <h1 id=”header”> …because of the h1 turned my fonts in 10 feet tall..!
    ha…….ha…..no luck….

    just included the hidden table again using the tags as validator.w3.org explains it..
    now it validates….
    im getting good at this……just kidding…

    Here is an old site I have not updated in a couple of years with a pop-up player window with which I was messing about the time I decided to host off my home computer. The links to the files were no longer any good so I just redirected a couple of them back to my computer. You’ll have to allow popups to view what I was talking about:

    well the player looks nice….think il see if i can use that…
    is it compatible with other browsers…..?
    anyway……
    can you see where that green color comes from that still shows on top as a litle stripe….?

    Very probably this in #body
    border-top: solid 3px #565;
    Just alter it to #fff;

    What podz said. Besides you have too many calls to a border in the body anyhoo. Set them all with “border: solid 2px #565;” or individually.
    As for the player I think, if I recall correctly, it uses javascript and checks for browser type.

    all at once ?
    how do i do that ..?

    Not sure what you are asking, but if it is about a border, in your css you have:
    border: solid 2px #565;
    border-bottom: solid 1px #565;
    border-top: solid 3px #FFF;
    the first one puts a border around all sides, the second one overrides the first one for the bottom-border and the third for border-top. If you don’t want a border at the top, just put border-top:none
