Try clicking on the valid XHTML 1.0 button at the button when there's a flash banner on top... The flash banner from Rochen doesn't seem to validate...

Sry Cypher, messed up the post and corrected it

[Burpee]

Okay... and for some reason it doesn't always give the error either so I'm just copy-pasting it here and giving it some makeup

      You may have neglected to close a tag, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" a tag; that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

      You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

      This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

      How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

      You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

Flash does not validate as far as I know .. unless you use this method and I've read somewhere that it is not perfect and got some problems.

[[Unknown]]

The advertisement usually doesn't validate.

Hmm... didn't know that Flash wasn't xhtml compatible... W3C doesn't make it easy for us does it?

[Oldiesmann]

I think the "proper" method is using the object tag, but that's annoying because you have to know the proper class ID for that.

Two possible fixes for problems people had with Flash Satay:

http://www.stilldreamer.com/programming/a_list_aparts_flash_satay_method_improved/
http://meddle.dzygn.com/tests/lanzadera/english.php

I've never had Flash Satay fail on me, personally ...

By the way, the Flash Satay method is also on Macromedia's website: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/flash_satay.html
