Error when using [html] and embed....

[Gargoyle]

When I use the [ html ] tags and embed in a post I get this error....

line: 249
Char: 38
Error: Object Required
Code: 0
URL: the url to the post where the embed tag was used.

The embeded item works fine though. Just wondering what I can do about the error.

Can you post the html you're using (outside html tags, of course)?

I did try adding the close tag already. It didn't change the error. I also tried playing around with the quotes and that hasn't helped.

I don't understand the error or why it is there. It's almost like the forum is looking for some Javascript thats not there or something.

Thanks for your suggestion though.

hmm or try <object>the other code here</object>

or maybe [unknown] has a solution ?

Well my FireFox install uses the Quick Time plug-in to play Mp3 files and it does not error at all. So it seems to be specific to IE and Windows Media Player.

I will wait and see what [unknown] says though...

Thanks!!

I receive no such error with that code...?

Really

Oh thats a bummer.... It seems that when I use the code in IE I get that little yellow exclamtion point in the lower left corner of my browser. When I click it I get the above information about the error...

But if it works alright for you guys it could just be a thing with my IE and Media Player set-up.
