Tag name: "embed" not found.... ?

Every time i insert a swf file into my html file with DwCS3
generate this code:
<embed src="flash/topheader.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780"
height="200"></embed>
And i got this error message from validation:
The tag name:"embed" Not found in currently active version
[XHTML 1.0 transitional]
Is there any way to avoid this by inserting a swf file?

Thanks so much Kelv, it helps me a lot. I found this link
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2004Apr/0070.html
and you're right, it's possible to avoid "embed" tag. Though
the answer of the link it's about nested objects more than
FlashObjects.This link pointed me to the previous one:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/accessibility/archives/2005/08/in_search_of_a.cfm
I just made little adjust in my code and works without js
file.
Now my code it's 100% valid.

You don't. You ignore it. The <embed> tag is not valid
HTML, but it is
required to have reliable rendering of your Flash across
various browsers.

Validation: tag name "embed" not found

When I run the validation in DW8, I get an "error" of: The
tag name: "embed" Not found in currently active versions. [XHTML
1.0 transitional]
The offending line created by DW8 when I drag a swf file onto
the design view of a page is:
<embed src="../Flash/Ship 26.swf" width="550"
height="400" quality="high" pluginspage="
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
mode="transparent"></embed>.
Does anyone know if this is bad, good, indifferent, or how to
stop that problem?
Thanks.

I believe you have only 2 choices:
1. Stop using Flash
2. Ignore the error message.
<embed> is NOT valid HTML

Error:"The specified tag name was not found"

Hello:
My problem is the FieldPoint error message in LabWindows/CVI v6.0.
When hook up with Ethernet module(FP-1600), NO Problem on the source code, specially item Name "All". See the actual code.
if(status = FP_CreateTagIOPoint (ServerHandle, resourceName, deviceName, "All",&IOPointHandle))
But When hook up with RS-232C Module(FP-1000), occured error. The error code is 32812, that means "The Specified tag name was not found."
What makes this error? Why item name "All" makes the error when using FP-1000?
Please help me.
Thank You.

Make sure the resourceName and deviceName match what is in FieldPoint Explorer. See the following KB:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/02EB73D02715981A8625682B00774F8F?OpenDocument
Also, I have seen this error when targetting serial modules with FieldPoint Explorer open. Make sure FP Explorer is closed.

Validation The tage name: "embed"

I embedded a flash movie using Dreamweaver but when I run the
code Validation it returns —
The tage name: "embed" Not found in currently active
versions. [XHTML 1.0 transitional]
:confused;

The <embed> tag is not valid HTML. You can either
ignore it, or use a
different method for inserting your Flash on the page (by the
way, DWCS4
uses a 'different' method which will not trigger this
validation message).

Name tag "embed" not found

I have a problem on
http://www.enforcementsecurityservices.com
When validating CSS, no errors are found.
When validating HTML, 7 errors are found, all on line 58: no
attribute for src, quality, pluginspage, type, width, height,
embed.
Also, when validating the page, this message shows: The name
tag "embed" not found in current active versions. XHTML 1.0
transitional.
The problem is the slideshow that was created in Flash and
inserted in Dreamweaver. I used Player 9, Action Script 3.0
What do I need to do to correct this? Thank you!

Struts2 and Tiles2 - Error executing tag: Attribute 'title' not found.

I keep getting Error executing tag: Attribute 'title' not found when I go to the baseLayout.jsp page. I am figuring it is not seeing the tiles.xml file, but I have placed it in the /WEB-INF directory like every web page I have found says too. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

I was playing around with it some more and was trying to follow this page:
http://www.vaannila.com/struts-2/struts-2-example/struts-2-tiles-example-1.html
I made sure I had the same jar versions. I still get the same exception in the Browser, but I get a few more log messages in the tomcat log;
Obviously I have something configured wrong. I'll see what searching brings up, and of course any help would be appreciated.

Path or file name "java" not found error

I am getting the error, path or file name "java" not found, when I type in sqlj -version.
I am using a NT server and I have added the CLASSPATH and path to it.
Does anyone have any ideas.

What version of SQLJ are you using? What do you see when you type
java
or
java -version
on the command line?

This procedure name is not found in the database: wwv_flow.show

I created an interactive report, which works fine in the APEX developer, using the Application Express Authentication scheme.
To add it to our Self-Service web system, I change the authentication scheme to a custom scheme that has been working fine for other applications, although I don't know of any other interactive reports using this scheme in Self-Service.
Anyway, the interactive report is displayed in our Self-Service system using the custom authentication scheme, but if I display the Action menu and click on one of the options (Filter, Sort, Compute...), a pop-up window is displayed saying:
This procedure name is not found in the database:
wwv_flow.show
That error is also displayed when I try to edit the displayed filters.
Does anyone know why I might be getting that error or have suggestions on things to try to track it down?
Thanks,
Laura

Laura,
To add it to our Self-Service web systemWhat does that mean? What did it entail?
I'm thinking maybe you embedded some relative links into a menu system in which the base href was not appropriate, ... or something.

Error:configuration with name 'default' not found.

Hi all. I am fairly new to android programming. I am trying to use the CreativeSDK, specifically the image editing portion. I have been trying to follow the steps at the following link: Adobe Creative SDK
I first edit my settings.gradle file and then sync... This works with no error.
I then go on to edit my build.gradle (making sure i edit the modular file). After editing it, I get prompted with "sync project," to which I accept. I then get the following error:
"error:configuration with name 'default' not found."
May someone please guide me or tell me what I should do or what I should read.
Thank you for your time.

Unable to connect to the analysis server the server name was not found

Hi,
One of the user is trying to run reports from PWA 2010 and gets the below error.
Unable to connect to the analysis server the server name was not found.Please verify the name you entered is correct and then try again.
Errors in the ole db provider.An error occurred while loading the connection dialog boxcomponent for prompting.
Please advice why?

Dear Project Help,
Please help the community with more information.
Which kind of reports are you running? Excel using OLAP?
If so, check out on your Excel sheet connection information to see if it's using the SSS Authentication mode:
I'm asking this because if the failure happens with a single user, the authentication method is wrong and you should set up Secure Store Service properly.
Let me know if you need any help on this.
Cheers

JBO-25077: Name Region not found in the given object

I'm linking my main View Object to a secondary View Object using a View Link. Then in a View Criteria, I use an EXISTS statement to add a field from the secondary View Object. I make that field be a LOV dependent on another data source. When I choose an option from the dropdown list in the resulting <af:query>, it returns an error.
Below, ELEMENT is the name of that field in the secondary View Object. Product is the variable name. Region is a field in the main View Object.
(Note: When that field is not a LOV, it works fine.)
oracle.jbo.expr.JIEvalException: JBO-25077: Name Region not found in the given object: ( (ELEMENT = :Product ) ) .
     at oracle.jbo.common.JboBeanUtils.getProperty(JboBeanUtils.java:85)
     at oracle.jbo.common.JboBeanUtils.getPropertyInMapOrBean(JboBeanUtils.java:235)
     at oracle.jbo.ExprEval.getRowVal(ExprEval.java:1367)
     at oracle.jbo.ViewCriteriaRow.getExprVarVal(ViewCriteriaRow.java:1822)
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0

I have additional information.
The field Region in the primary View Object has another field dependent on it. It seems like when the field Element in the secondary View Object is changed, the dependent field tries to look for "Region" in the secondary View Object (which I don't understand why it would), but can't find it, so returns the error.
Hope this might be a clue to figuring out why the error happens.

After some more investigation... I have finally found the problem... I think!!!
Suns JVM took my browsers default connection settings:
HTTP IP PORT
SECURE IP PORT
FTP IP PORT
GOPHER IP PORT
SOCKS IP PORT
All of these are set in my browser.
It seems that Suns JVM orders the way it connects to the Internet.
Basically the JVM was trying to access the Internet via the SOCKS server settings and not the HTTP.
To fix the problem I un-ticked the "use browser settings" check box in the Java plugin proxies tab and just added the HTTP IP and PORT of our proxy server that goes out onto the Internet.
I then tried the applet and it worked!!!
Does anyone know why the JVM orders connections in this way?

Query string read as part of file name, throwing not found errors

Hi all, I host a number of Web sites under a CF7 installation, Win2003.
One site in particular is throwing not-found errors in response to certain search bot requests.
In the IIS log, I noticed that for these requests, the query part of the URL is part of cs-uri-stem field value, but is not in the cs-uri-query field where it belongs:
cs-uri-stem= /index.cfm?template=24hour5.cfm
cs-uri-query=<blank>
instead of
cs-uri-stem= /index.cfm
cs-uri-query=template=24hour5.cfm
Evidently something somewhere is interpreting the entire URL as a filename, instead of a file name and a query string. When CF tries to locate the file it is throwing a not-found error.
Maybe there is something weird about the question mark, but it looks normal to me.
I can't seem to stop this error, since it is occuring at the OS, IIS, CF or jrun layer. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, and what I can do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Hey Reed, thanks for responding.
I have a Cf utility that parses logs, so I modifed it to print out the ASCII codes for each character. They look normal, as far as I can tell. The question mark has a code of 63 which is correct, and no non-alphabetic characters precede or follow.
One interesting thing is that the stem being called is an index.cfm file, and the query string argument happens to be a template name, and it ends in .cfm. That's why it is making it all the way to CF, which chokes on it, instead of IIS logging a 404 error.
Often an identifiable bot is requesting these bad URLs, though I have spotted another request with agent 'Mozilla/4.0.' I suspect that is some kind of automated scan. (I also see other requests with the same agent name, though a different IP, that look like errononeously URL-encoded requests. These get filtered by URLScan.)
I don't know for sure is whether the specific clients that make these bad calls always make them them wrong way. They appear to. Most clients that access the site do so normally.
I wonder if there could be something in the request header, perhaps that instructs IIS to expect a different charset than what is actually used, or something like that.

BIP Word Run Time Error: File or assemby name XDOUtilities not found

Running BIP with Oracle Business Intelligence EE. When I try to log into BIP from MSFT Work via the BI Publisher Menu, I get the following error.
File or assemby name XDOUtilities, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
Run-time error '2147024894 (80070002)':
File or assemby name XDOUtilities, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
I'm running BIP 10.1.3.2.1 Build 87
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The issue is caused by a bug in Microsoft Visual Studio.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908002
Unforatunately, we were not aware of this issue, and our build system did not have this patch installed. As it seems all our test environments worked correctly with BI Publisher Desktop. We are checking if we can release a patch or find another work around.
The Microsoft site mentions the following work around:
Note This problem does not occur when you log on by using a Microsoft Windows user account that has restricted permission.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
