Hello Chris; I was trying to do the same thing using quicktime to embed a .mov file. I chose for it to start automatically once someone clicks on the link. It seams to work ok in safari, but alex just told me it isn't working on his windows or lynex systems. When I go to my own websie, I can't find the buttons, so I guess that is what you were showing me with the extra code. I hope i get this figured out soon, am a one man band and i'm getting behind on other work for my site trying to get this right. Thanks again, Max On Jul 2, 2009, at 10:00 AM, Chris Blouch wrote:
