If you right click this page and view source you will see the code I used and it is the same as the example. The thing I don't like about the amung us widget is that it can sometimes slow down my page load time. I contacted amung us when I first wrote this article and showed them my valid method for getting their widget to validate and they said it was ok to use their info this way. Well, to me anyways. It could also be that their server is busy at the time, but I am sure they probably use a innodb table scheme, if they use mysql, with row level locking. I see a bunch of green stars on my site, so patience. hi eli,

I just get "No Visitors" on my map when I visit my own website with the amung.us map on it. I even tried creating a super-basic web page with just the opening and closing html tags and body tags and the validated amung.us code according to your format using my amung.us widget and it still doesn't record any visitors when I'm on the page. I'm at a public library now. When I put on the original embed code for the amung.us widget, it displays the map point where I'm located (still at the public library), but when I use the XHTML 1.0 validated code exactly as you present it in the order that you present the object tag and its attributes and the parameters and their values, I only get "No Visitors". Seemingly bizarre. Any ideas on what might be causing this? I'd love to finally resolve this once and for all as I've been working on this for a couple of weeks and finally came across your web page which specifically discusses the amung.us code and XHTML 1.0 validation. I've supplied the super-basic web page containing only the amung.us widget code in my posting here. Thank you very much for any help in this matter. Sincerely, Eli. Hi Me:

I've had one of those "D'oh!" moments. I guess I was looking at the code so much that I missed the obvious problem. Yes, I was effectively closing the object tag twice. I appreciate your guidance. Cheers, Gary. Thanks so much. I’ve had one of those “D’oh!” moments. I guess I was looking at the code so much that I missed the obvious problem.

Yes, I was effectively closing the object tag twice.

I appreciate your guidance.

Great article. I'm a validation junkie too. I'm really struggling with this simple code to validate as strict: The validator continually reports: 1. document type does not allow element "param" here; assuming missing "object" start-tag. 2. XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: div line 15 and object. [this was the object end tag] ....which I know is wrong. HTML Tiday (in Firefox) tells me: 1. Warning: discarding unexpected 2. Warning: discarding unexpected Any ideas, please? Hi there. Great article. I’m a validation junkie too.
