Description Phillip Bruce 2005-08-21 01:13:45 UTC 
The EMBED tag is a legal tag and SRC is a legal attribute. It seems Validator 
reports that as an error.

Error Line 201 column 24: there is no attribute "SRC".
             <EMBED SRC="testsound.wav"></td>

The error above is what I get with the validator. I'm using HTML 4.01 as the 
standard.

Could you cite the section of the HTML 4.01 Standard that defines the embed 
element?

I've the same problem with this code:

 <TABLE ALIGN="LEFT" BORDER="0" cellpadding="2">
            <TR>
            <TD>
            
            <EMBED WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="160" src="files/bastone.avi"
type="application/x-mplayer2">

            </EMBED>
            </TD>
            </TR>
            </TABLE>
 
and use HTML 4.01 Transitional...
