    Alternative to <embed>

    I want to be able to 'embed' a flash based movie player from YouTube into my site but Expression insists that the tag <embed> is no longer a web standard. This is the type of code YoutTube offers you to put in your html:

     <object width='780' height='445'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFPTir5NTL_nk7PQ6CfavcMiLoKY_y7e4DY='></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></params><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFPTir5NTL_nk7PQ6CfavcMiLoKY_y7e4DY=' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='780' height='445'></embed></object>

    Essencially it works fine. But I have to admit to have an odd problem with the initial floating frame (the one you click to activate the control). It seems to appear in other places on the webpage when the page has been scrolled, which looks odd. This might not be related though.

    What can I use as an alternative? Or is it fine to ignore Expression and use the code?

    Thanks Guys, that was really helpful. I think I've got it to work ok... I have some other stuff to do before I can upload it but it seems to work so far.
