I don't do web coding, and haven't been able to find an explanation for
this: many web sites won't display inline video with Microsoft Internet
Explorer 9. 

Instead, you get something like this - 



This example comes from 

http://www.wegotserved.com/2011/12/22/verizon-seeks-move-media-server-client
-model-distributed-entertainment/ 

and the relevant code is - 

<p>Check out the video below:<br />

<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='640'
height='360'><param name='movie'
value='http://www.youtube.com/v/QogfVxtsOP8?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=
0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'
/> <param name='wmode' value='opaque' /> <embed
src='http://www.youtube.com/v/QogfVxtsOP8?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&;
showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
allowfullscreen='true' width='640' height='360' wmode='opaque'></embed>
</object></span></p>

In IE9, I can't find a setting that allows me to see / play the video. Using
Opera v11.1, it shows up as I would have expected (with the Microsoft
browsers). 

Apart from changing browser (which I don't want to do), what can I do to
have IE9 display these sites properly? Compatibility mode settings don't fix
it for me.
