Description Zardoz 2009-09-23 18:13:59 UTC 
Strange errors, e.g.:

1.
Differentiation between SRC and src:

Line 642, Column 266: Attribute "SRC" is not a valid attribute. Did you mean "src"?
en" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xVjzn81d26k&amp

2.
Commonly used <Embed> attributes are rejected:

Line 642, Column 455: Attribute "ALLOWFULLSCREEN" is not a valid attribute
/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed><

The point of my adding this bug report is to note the fact that I cannot fully validate any page that has a Youtube video embedded in it, which is frustrating.

1) is a known bug which will be fixed in the next validator release.

2) For <embed> there's nothing the validator can do, see http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-flash

The error message for 2) is misleading though (assuming it appears alone and there's no error for the <embed> element itself).  Can you provide an URL to a document with which this can be investigated further?

Misleading suggestions should be gone in 0.8.6.
