Lose the <object> tag. Seriously. Someone suggested <embed>. It's
non-standard, but it works more reliably than <object>.

My personal preference for movies is to use neither of the above as both
try to dictate terms to the end user as to how and when the movie can be
played and what plug-ins may be required.

Just go with a straight up hyperlink. See my previous suggestion. Just
mark it up as you would any other link. Let the end user decide what
they want to do with your movie. Simple.

Re: HTML not coded right for Embedding Windows Media Player

It wont either with <Embed substitution.
I am aware that <Embed and <Object are tagged both since some use IE
browsers and others NEtscape.

Neverthess, Do you have a html code that works with a ref that works?
I did try to create a simple one line html file below.
=============== =============== =============== ===========
<a href="C:\Docume nts and Settings\alan\M y Documents\My
Videos\satvideo .wmv">Click<a/>

=============== =============== =============== =============== ==

It displayed CLICK on webpage. After hitting CLICK, it just hangs on there.

Any suggestion?

Re: HTML not coded right for Embedding Windows Media Player

Jukka,

Now I see what actually happened. I had copied and pasted HTML code right
below "neat" comment. But it was never
posted. That is why you say I get plonked again if I do that again. All the
time I thought it was you who deleted the code in that posting to make it
look less messy.

I could post the code again, but I now feel it is just too long.
I believe it requires one line or two HTML code to display video on webpage.

None of us will be able to hear/see a video on your hard drive.

1) Please do not top-post. Put your responses after what you reply to.

2) Rather than post a page of code, upload it to a server (a free one,
even) and post the URL.

Re: HTML not coded right for Embedding Windows Media Player

Beauregard,

Watch my<a href="http://69.39.x29.x63/video/satvideo.wmv">s atvideo</a>movie.
It did not work; It prompted with DOWNLOAD dialog;

Then I typed in below replacing video with My Videos path

<a href="http://69.39.229.163/My Videos/satvideo.wmv">s atvideo</a>movie.

It did not work either because it prompted with Download Dialog, again.

When you said "Type in serverpath, I used my ip address.

I will not top post it.

Re: HTML not coded right for Embedding Windows Media Player

Beauregard,

May I ask you what webserverpathto is. I feel it is foolish to specify the
ip address there because I have already specified my home ip. For example,
when some visitors want to access to my website, they type in http://myhome
ip/movie.html
It is not clear why I have to specify the webserverpathto in ip again in the
html file.

Bear with me.

It appears that my pc and other pc(s) cannot locate that movie file at all.
