Actually, only the frames pages would havete framset DTD. All other pages would have something like

HTML: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

as the DOCTYPE.

Having said this, what you are trying to embed? If you look at the <object> tag, you will see that embed is not actually a proper attribute for the tag. The EMBED attribute is mainly used by Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer on Macintosh to direct the browser to load the Macromedia Flash Player.

If you are trying to embed flash, you should check out Embedding Flash While Supporting Standards. It does work - we actually did it on one of our sites
