CumulusRealtime.swf XHTML Validation

[TNETWeather]

If you are creating your own web pages and using one of the XHTML doctypes... the current insertion of CumulusRealtime.swf into the page will not validate because it uses the depreciated "EMBED" elements.

The original code is:

Code: Select all

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
    id="CumulusRealtime" width="600" height="300"
    codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab">
    <param name="movie" value="CumulusRealtime.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name='flashVars' value='interval=60'/>
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <embed src="CumulusRealtime.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
        width="600" height="300" name="CumulusRealtime" align="middle"
        play="true"
        loop="false"
        quality="high"
        allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
        flashVars='interval=60'
        type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
    </embed>
</object>

A replacement for the above which works in FF and IE is:

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="CumulusRealtime.swf"
    width="600" height="300" id="CumulusRealtime" >
    <param name="movie" value="CumulusRealtime.swf"/>
    <param name="quality" value="high"/>
    <param name="scale" value="noscale"/>
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name='flashVars' value='interval=60'/>    
</object>
