HTML not executing in Internet Explorer

“fine” is a bit of overstatement…

cut the flash – does it show it in IE?

Yes, after I cut the Flash the page does show up. I do not understand what characters within the flash code cause problems. This code is the default coding, that Flash exports and recommends on the Adobe website. Why would this same code work on a page, but now with WordPress?

<object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ codebase=”https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0&#8243; width=”800″ height=”200″ id=”header” align=”middle”>
<param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain” />
<param name=”movie” value=”https://www.gurpcity.net/home/header.swf&#8221; /><param name=”quality” value=”high” /><param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″ /><embed src=”https://www.gurpcity.net/home/header.swf&#8221; quality=”high” bgcolor=”#000000″ width=”800″ height=”200″ name=”header” align=”middle” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&#8221; />

you dont have a closing object tag, for starters, NOR do you have a closing embed tag, which, btw, you dont need. And I know that macromedia provides those when it spits out the code.

The page is fixed, thanks.
