Try using this code to embed the flash into your pages.
Code: 
[/font][font=Verdana]<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="[b]your swf file here[/b]" 
width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" 
value="[b]your swf file here[/b]" />
</object>
 
Thanks. How well does that work across browsers? I just checked in FF and IE and it seems fine.

EDIT: I've also changed it so that a gif version (static) is the background for the div the Flash is embedded in. In case they dont have Flash or whatever. That's instead of the <noembed> stuff i did have which essentially did the same.

Being my pedantic self, I'll point out two things you could improve on:
  1. Instead of using <br><br> to create a gap inbetween paragraphs, why not just set them as paragraphs and set a bottom margin in the CSS?
  2. Your CSS could do with a bit of the shorthand treatment
Apart from those two niggles, I think you've got it bang on. Looking though your HTML and CSS is an absolute pleasure, the site is visually quite attractive and the project it's for looks good too :)

So i've been pestering just about everyone in this forum whilst getting this site done, and it's finally there. :D

Very impressed is this your first go at making a website, I want to make one for my football manager clan but I dont have a clue
 
I personally don't like the flash animation running through on every single page. Maybe you could use a session or something so it only plays on the first page you load?

Hey, no i've actually been making websites in my spare time for a few years now, on and off. It's only the last couple of sites that i've done that have been valid xhtml/css though... i of course started off with frames, tables and all the other things that remain in the dark side of web design :p

Thanks. I dont think i've consistently put br's under paragraphs though - i have put margins on the p's correctly :confused:

EDIT: I guess you mean in the news. Hmn that'll be cutenews. I might have a look into it, but i should really leave the site alone and get on with the actually project (and my dissertation!) :)

I decided to put validation links at the bottom, just to make sure my lecturers/markers get the gist that it's all valid. ;)

That said i'm getting an error on the contact page from my Javascript validation. Is there any way around this? :confused:

EDIT: Fixed. Needed lowercase.

As i've got a gif as the background behind the flash animation, it would be very easy to remove the flash on every page, and leave it just on the homepage maybe? What does everyone think? Just have the Flash on the homepage?

Obviously I prefer it that way ;)

I'll explain a little more why I don't like it animating on every page. Because it takes quite a few seconds to fully appear I felt I had to sit and wait for it every time in case it said something different or important each time. Of course, I may just be an idiot...


By the way, the validation links at the bottom are good. I hate it when people put largish gifs in their footers proclaiming how well they conform.

Thats a very good point, never thought of that. Anyone else got anything to say on the matter? :)

Heh. Well i did go to put nice buttons (the pixel font versions) but it was too much of a pain to get them centered etc so i just stuck the text in the footer :p
