object and embed tag position in IE

What is OK?

If you’ve written at least once the OBJECT and EMBED tags, without copy/paste you may have been noticed that the place of the EMBED tag is a bit strange. Actually after the OBJECT tag, comes the PARAM sequence, that simply defines different parameters for the flash movie.

And what looks strange?

Microsoft Script Debugger

The installation of Microsoft Script Debugger solves this problem. It gives the line and the code, even highlights the error.
