CSE HTML Validator

Good day,
I use

<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" name="VLC" autostart="true" autoplay="true"
loop="false" volume="100" width="640" height="480" target="videos/VTS_01_1.flv"/>

Validating I get the error:
[Editor v11.0211(Pro)]
the "target" attribute is not valid for the "embed" element. Some valid attributes for this element are: "accesskey", "align", "allowfullscreen", "allowscriptaccess", "alt", "autoplay", "autostart", "base", "bgcolor", "border", "class", "contenteditable", "contextmenu", "controls", "dir", "draggable", "dropzone", "flashvars", "frameborder", "height", "hidden", "hidefocus", "hspace", "id", "lang", "logo", "loop", "menu", "name", "palette", "play", "pluginspage", "progress", "quality", "role", "scale", "song", "spellcheck", "src", "style", "swliveconnect", "swremote", "swstretchhalign", "swstretchstyle", "swstretchvalign", "tabindex", "title", "translate", "type", "units", "unselectable", "volume", "vspace", "width", "wmode", "xml:lang", "on" attributes (like event handlers), "aria-*" attributes, and "item*" attributes.

But vlc plays VTS_01_1.flv on firefox 12.0 (Picture and sound well)
1. Question: Why the error message?

vlc is not playing VTS_01_1.flv on Opera 11.64 (missing plug-in)
vlc is not playing VTS_01_1.flv on IE 8 (there is no message to see)
2. Question: Can anyone say something about Opera and IEt?

3. Question: Does anyone know a better procedure for the flv-Video?

Hi Walter,

I'm sorry for the delay.

I will add "target" attribute support for "embed" in a future update. For now you can right-click on that message and disable it using "Disable using Exact Text Match".

I am not sure if this will be helpful, but it might: Playing Videos in HTML

It suggests an HTML5 attempt combines with "object" and "embed" backups.

Support for the "target" attribute with the "embed" element has been added and will be in the soon-to-come FREE PUBLIC BETA of v12.
