I found that Browser Shots sometimes times out and returns a blank page. If you re-run the test again with fewer browsers selected it often returns the correct results. IE5 and 6 seem to do this often. Thanks for the link BTW.

Hmm, after checking my page in Browser Shots, maybe my code doesn’t work in all browsers. Can’t tell for sure, I didn’t select “flash enabled” when I checked my url the first time.

Is Browser Shots fairly accurate? My site came up blank in several browsers, that can’t be right.

Hi Bryan. Yes I would be very interested. I started out by tring to make all of my websites XHTML compliant and gave up in the end as even Wordpress itself was not. Maybe they have fixed this now though. If you don't want to put the code on your site, you could email the code to me and I can knock up a quick blog post (with credit to you of course). By the way, you mentioned that you have tested on several browsers. Do you use Browser Shots? This is a great free site that will run a URL on dozens of different browsers and send you screen shots of what it looks like. I use this service to test what my plugin will look like on different browsers.

Regarding XHTML compliant flash: I finally found a way to embed flash YouTube movies in my site that validates XHTML 1.0 Strict. I just use the following format:

Tested in IE 8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari.
