expected result: you see a flash animation
actual result: i don´t see a flash animation

when i remove the DOCTYPE -> flash animation is displayed.

please make flash also work in standard render mode.
html for flash is generated from dreamweaver (i haven´t changed a bit).

tested on win95 with buildid 2000071020.
i can't seem to connect to the url u mentioned. could u pls attach a testcase 
page that i can download and see? thnx.
sure , i generate a zip file...
Thanks for the testcases. The flash movie does not work if the following 
statement is put in the webpage.(testcase : not_working.html)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

But if I remove the url in the "<Doctype>" , then it works fine.
Horwath: Your HTML is not valid. HTML 4.0 has no tag "EMBED". Thus, I am not
sure it is a bug that this is not working.

shirang: I think he knows that. IIRC, the URL forces standard mode, and that's
what he's trying to do.
i know that -> but without that embed it would not work in ns4
the other option i have is : only use object -> works in ie and also should! 
work in mozilla but will not work in ns4.
how else should i generate cross browser compatible html. ooh wait..ns4 is dead
it is impossible to generate pages without unknown tags -> mozilla will display 
nothing :-(. why does mozilla not just ignore those tags ? or should i generate 
the right html with javascript ? what if the user has disabled javascript ? why 
should i use quirk mode -> nobody needs ns4 table rendering bugs but wait... 
flash works correctly.

the main reason why is use a standard mode is i want to see, how mozilla 
renders. 
if you think: accept only pure html 4 is the right way close this bug as 
invalid but please explain how to get flash working in standard render mode.
I think if you want standard mode, you'll need valid markup. I suspect that the
standard mode is tossing out your (invalid) EMBED tag.

Does the flash movie work in the standard document if you take out the EMBED
tag? If not, that is pretty certainly a bug.

(I thought NN4 understood OBJECT for plugins...)
when i remove the embed tag it also does not work on mozilla. nice effect is it 
does not work anymore on ns4.
there is also another description (i think a better one) in bug 44993.

is 46569 a dup or does it dependent on that bug ?
