Is there an alternative or fix to these errors? It depends on what you are using the embed element for. Theoretically, the object element is a general-purpose element that replaces the nonstandard embed element, among other things. In practice, you will probably find browser support to embed better than support to object. If you decide to keep using embed, you could validate your page against a custom DTD that permits it, such as http://sandbox.bednarz.nl/sgml/dtd/tagsoup.dtd Your document would thereby _not_ conform to HTML specifications any more than it does now; but you might find it easier to use a validator to catch typos and other errors in markup that way. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
