There is no such thing as <embed>, although most browsers know what it is and work with it. You should use <object> instead. I'm just guessing the errors for the attributes are because the tag doesn't exist.

The validator says you are missing a closing tag. Do you see it?

btw, are you familiar with airsoft? I once ran the largest airsoft game in the Midwest, The Art of War. We had around 100 players from all over the country and Canada.

Ya man iv'e never played it but iv'e heard about it. We are into woodsball pretty big. The biggest game we have been to had 500 ppl playing with 17 tanks and mortars that could range over 100 yards. Law rockets shoting nerf footballs. pretty sweet stuff!

However I would like to hide the music window some how, can you direct me on how to do this? Also the validator says that No Character Encoding Found! I'm not really sure how to fix this. From what iv'e read its a setting on the hosting side correct? Heres my updated code.

Please wrap your html in code tags located as the <> button in the message box.

For character encoding, in the <head>:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ut f-8" >

To make the music box invisible:
<object style="visibili ty: hidden" ..........

I think! I've never done this to an <object> before so let us know if it works. A potential problem is that even if it disappears, the space it occupies will not.

I couldn't get the hidden tag to work. I looked throughout the net and couldn't find another command that would hide the control box for the sound using <object> (doesn't mean its not out there) . If you come up with anything else let me know.

**brettl** · Oct 29 '07, 04:37 PM

I'm not sure it will work but you can try:

<object style="display: none;".....

Let me know if that works.

**drhowarddrfine** · Oct 29 '07, 04:41 PM

Don't ask me why I didn't suggest that. Good call Brettl.

**Rulenoff** · Oct 29 '07, 07:25 PM

You guys are the best. Thank you very much. That tag worked like a charm in hiding the control bar. I finally have 0 errors on my home page and 2 others now. I have alot of work to do on my picture site however and have alot of content to add to the site itself. I couldn't have done it without everyone's help, thanks again and I hope you enjoy you day!
