ok so I really liked the way Andreas' script worked so I started tweaking it a bit. I'm no code wizard but I believe I have it working for QuickTime, Windows Media, MP3s, and will resize the player according to the size of the still image used to represent it.
It doesn't work in IE however. my stats show that most of my visitors are still on IE (I pitty them) ... anyone know how to make it cross-browser-friendly? You can see the results of my tweaks and tweaked code here: (firefox) http://davidmeade.com/wip/media_test.php On 1/20/06, David Meade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > But you're using javascript: links, which is troublesome (doesn't degrade > > gracefully).
