You have over 20 XHTML Validation errors. These are the number 1 reason things don’t look right in either IE or Firefox.

I’ve tried to clean up as many as psosible – ignoring the ones to do with embed. I still have the problem though… any other ideas ? 🙁
Not to muddy up this thread but…
kill the embed, you do not need it
its NOT a standard tag, its a holdover from Netscape (version: Long Ago).
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4008517364240500716" width="400" height="325">
<param name="movie" value="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4008517364240500716" />
</object>
is all you need.

Alright, got it fixed. Was a problem with CSS!
I’m also having a Flash issue. What was the CSS problem? Maybe my theme has a similar issue.
