Setting z-index of Flash Object

By default, browsers place embedded plug-in content, such as a Flash movie or Java applet, on the topmost layer. In older browsers, attempts to place a DHTML layer on top of a Flash layer would fail.

The solution is to use the WMODE parameter to allow layering of Flash content with DHTML layers. The WMODE parameter can be 'window' (default), 'opaque', or 'transparent'. Using a WMODE value of 'opaque' or 'transparent' will prevent a Flash movie from playing in the topmost layer and allow you to adjust the layering of the movie within other layers of the HTML document.

WYSIWYM Editors

WYSIWYM is an acronym for What You See Is What You Mean and refers to the paradigm for document editing. It is an alternative to the better known WYSIWYG paradigm.

In a WYSIWYM editor, the user writes the contents in a structured way, following their semantic value, instead of designing their aesthetic. For example, the user tells the editor that he is writing a title, a section, or an author. Because of this, one needs to know the structure of the document (contents semantic) before editing it.

Embedding YouTube/Google Video as Valid XHTML

The use of embed has gone on too long. Wishing for it to become part of the official specs is like wishing your partner would start putting the cap on the toothpaste. It’s not going to happen, so it’s time to move on. If you want to validate your website, you have to get rid of embed.
