OBJECT and !IE
I was just wondering, whenever I use OBJECT as apposed to EMBED (as it's not legal HTML) for quick time movies it never seems to work in anything other than IE. Is there some way to get it to work in Mozilla or Opera, or do they just not support it properly?

OBJECT was only introduced in HTML 4 (I believe). EMBED is, IIRC, merely deprecated, so it's still okay to use for now. I would suggest using an EMBED within the OBJECT tags, so if it is viewed with an OBJECT aware browser, it wil render the object, otherwise it will fall through and render the EMBED.

Well I can do that but embed isn't just deprecated, it was never in the specs - it's proprietary (even though it works in most browsers), so I can't do that and still have the page validate. Thanks for the input though.
