Is it possible to validate a web page that uses the "OBJECT" tag?  I am
trying to validate a one page web site for a new client that has written a
book.  The URL is not yet active on most ISP DNS records, but you can view
it at http://www.websitedatabasesolutions.com/rejoicebook/index22.htm (to be
located at www.rejoicebook.com within the next 24 - 48 hours).  Anyway, when
I validate it, the W3C validator keeps telling me that is detecting a
closing OBJECT tag.  There HAS to be a closing OBJECT tag if the tag is open
so why is it stating this?

The validation link is
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.websitedatabasesolutions.com%2Frejoicebook%2Findex22.htm&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=%28detect+automatically%29
for anyone that wants to check it out.

I have inserted some javascript to sniff out the browser type to NOT load
the EMBED tag unless it the user is using Netscape.

I would really like to validate this page, but seem to have run into a
roadblock with the closing OBJECT tag issue.  Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
