Hey, im trying to host some flash games.
Im trying to add the games in a "window" with my site around it.
But for some reason nothing happens, here is an example: http://ultimate-gamer.org/games/pandemic_ii.php

It runs fine when i dont have it in the php but by itself.

Is http://ultimate-gamer.org/games/pandemic_ii.php the page you are having problems with as it runs and plays fine in Firefox 2.0.0.17.

Your code looks ok for player except for the fact there is no closing embed tag. Embed only uses one tag, but that wouldn't create any problems.

Coding errors:
CSS
HTML

I had to remove.

That's a relief that you got it fixed. I hadn't a clue as to what to suggest after I looked at the working page and the code. Razz

Thank you for posting back your solution for others to read.

Yeah, its the code dreamweaver cs3 gives you if you just drag it in.
So it most almost certain more will get that issue.

That's why I dumped that expensive program (Dreamweaver) years ago as it never could write correct code either syntactically or semantically. Razz

What do you use instead of dreamweaver? Or do you write the codes yourself?

I hand code all my pages using a new HTML Editor I am evaluating for the author.

Aha, i see.
Also could you please check the game again? It doesnt seem to load, but it could just be client side.

Not loading for me at all. Get loading bar, but never get game loaded to be able to play. Tried in IE. Same thing.
Correct these simple errors and see if that corrects the loading problem:

Don't pay attention to the warning about the embed tag. Validator has never liked it. Razz

If you really wanted your page to validate 100%, then you will have to insert the embed code via script.

This, "<img src="../banner.png" alt="ultimate-gamer" href="http://ultimate-gamer.org width="248" height="78" />", still hasn't been corrected. There is NO href="" attribute for the image tag. You also left off quote after "....org" anyway.
