Hello
I added some flash using <OBJECT> and had an <EMBED> inside it. But that showed as an issue. Should one use <embed> or not?

Should I use <EMBED> for Flash?

Go ahead and use it. There are other ways to code the object so you don't need embed, but it works. You can search the web for alternatives to using embed with flash, if you really don't want it there.

Hi Andrew,
The "embed" element is in HTML5 (but not previous versions of HTML):
http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/spec.html#embed
Most likely OK to use it... but it should be empty (no end tag) according to HTML5.
