David, What have you tried so far and the <object><embed> combination should work for all browsers. IE uses the <object> tag while other browsers will read the <embed> tag. I'm copying and pasting the entire block. Make sure you key in your media file name in both ________.wmv blanks. Taky <object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" id="MediaPlayer1" width="320" height="314"> <param name="AutoStart" value="-1"> <param name="DisplayBackColor" value="0"> <param name="DisplayForeColor" value="16777215"> <param name="FileName" value="___________.wmv"> <param name="ShowCaptioning" value="0"> <param name="ShowControls" value="1"> <param name="ShowAudioControls" value="1"> <param name="ShowDisplay" value="0"> <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="1"> <param name="TransparentAtStart" value="0"> <param name="Volume" value="1"> <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/"; Name=MediaPlayer1 ShowControls=1 ShowDisplay=0 ShowStatusBar=1 ShowAudioControls=1 width=320 height=314 AutoStart=1 Src="____________.wmv"> </embed> </object>

The appropriate MIME type association was either set by default or I did it and don't remember. What I was missing is what Taky provided and although his code doesn't work with my particular code for embedding the WMV player, there are several different versions to accomplish that and the one he's using apparently does the trick. I haven't tried subbing it in for my own because I haven't had time today, but I'll get to it and report the results, not that I doubt they'll be what I'm after. David Hurdon PS I see you're using an asx file. Do you get the same result with a wmv file?

Windows knows its own and when it hits a wmv it opens its Media Player. Netscape/Firefox seems deliberately to not understand the file format. I create a separate link to the file when I embed web video for just this reason. Here's an example: http://www.digicorps.com/matchbox.htm View this page in IE and you will see an embedded player - press the play button and it does. View it in Firefox and you will NOT see the embedded player. You'll have to use the separate link referring to Netscape. I've spent many hours trying to get around this but either I'm not up to it or their browser isn't. I can't believe their isn't a way to show the embedded player and I would sure be grateful to anyone who can show me how. ---Try placing a direct link to the actual source file. EXAMPLE HERE: http://tinyurl.com/gtun Look in the upper right corner where it says "WATCH THE VIDEO" No matter what browser you have, that link is there and it will open your player.
