[SWFObject] check the source on this site...

Perhaps the html page (or the swf object code block) is being generated from
an XML source ?
 
CDATA XML Sections are ignored by the XML parser during validation so you
can place code with special characters or non valid html without worry.
Things like double quotes (or html marked up text with <p> <b> tags etc)
which would normally need to be escaped in xml markup can be put safely
within a CDATA tag.
 
As an example, the below would break the XML parsing due to the "<" symbol
in the xml element text:

<message>if salary < 1000 then</message>
You would have to do something like the below to get around it normally:

<message>if salary < 1000 then</message>
The CDATA solution is:

<message>
    <![CDATA[if salary < 1000 then]]>
</message>

 
BTW - Check out some flex code if you want to see a lot of CDATA tags :)
 
 
Cheers,
Aran

Just curious, but does anyone have an idea why the 'CDATA'  tag was added?
