    Anybody know how to put a video in an HTML file ?

    I am looking for some examples (html code ..) of web page with a video
    (as wmv file) playing in a frame (using some Windows Media Player plugin).
    I don't need a specific server because my web pages (containing a video
    frame , text frame and picture frame will be used on local machine for
    teaching purpose.

    Embedding is normally not a good idea, but it's ok if it's for a private
    network and if the UA's accessing the content are known to be able to
    handle the data:

    <object data="http://host.com/video.wmv" type="video/x-ms-wmv"></object>

      Thanks for the information :
      but your suggestion opens directly the Window Media Player as a whole
      external application.
      The type is the good one, because when using the following code :

      <embed src="myvideo.wm v" type="video/x-ms-wmv" width="320"
      height="240"></embed>

      a frame containing the video (with WMP as actor) is open in the HTML
      page. What I want !
      Thanks anew.

        In that case your UA is broken.

        Invalid code, should not be used on the web, might be ok for an
        intranet.

          An innocent question : what about "UA is broken"
          Even that code is invalid, it works and for local use of web pages I
          think that it's not a problem.
          An other problem is that this type of code works only with I.E. and not
          with Mozilla for example.

            Which is why he said it was probably OK for an Intranet.

            Which is why it isn't appropriate for the www. Of course, if anyone on
            your Intranet uses Mozilla, you need to find a better solution.

            BTW: Please don't post upside-down.
