Problem

How to ensure YouTube embedded video is W3C compliant. DW does not flag-up that the 'embed' is non compliant with W3C standards.

Solution

Use the code in this posting to ensure W3C compliance of YouTube embedded videos.

Detailed description

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”425″ height=”350″ data=”http://www.youtube.com/v/yourcode“><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/yourcode” /></object>

The parts where it says yourcode needs to be replaced with the extension that applies to the location of your YouTube video - this is present in the orginal embed code and can be just copied and pasted across.
