I don't think I explained that too well, so I'm going to give an example. The <OBJECT type="application/vPIP+XML"...>...</OBJECT> section is parsed and turned into embed code. Here's an example from the most recent vlog I put up on http://techalley.cirne.com:
===================== <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.cirne.com/vlog/script/vlog.js"></script><noscript> <a href="http://enric.blip.tv/file/get/Enric-OnDabbleRemix054489.mov" rel="enclosure" style="font-size: 11px;">Watch Movie</a> </noscript> <div id="divOnDabbleRemix" align="center"> <span onclick="playVlog('divOnDabbleRemix', 'http://enric.blip.tv/file/get/Enric-OnDabbleRemix054489.mov');"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://static.flickr.com/38/101349283_ed69103f54_o.jpg" alt="On Dabble Remix" border="0" /></span><br /> <script type="text/javascript">document.writeln("<a href='javascript: playVlog("divOnDabbleRemix", "http://enric.blip.tv/file/get/Enric-OnDabbleRemix054489.mov");' rel='enclosure' style='font-size: 12px;'>Watch Movie</a>");</script> </div> ===================== Above is the Wordperfect presentation code that a vPIP object tag like the following would have created: ===================== <OBJECT type="application/vPIP+xml" id="OnDabbleRemix" title="On Dabble Remix"> <PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="http://enric.blip.tv/file/get/Enric-OnDabbleRemix054489.mov" /> <PARAM NAME="img" VALUE="http://static.flickr.com/38/101349283_ed69103f54_o.jpg" /> </OBJECT> ===================== A bit techie, but hopefully not totally confusing. I'll look at documenting this on my site with more explanation. -- Enric --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Enric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just use the <OBJECT ...>...</OBJECT> tag in the philosophy of > microformats.
