Here is the HTML code. Will this help?
<legend>Video Attachment Details</legend>
<div id="add-video" class="add-video">
<input id="video_attachment_video_file_name" type="hidden" name="
video_attachment[video_file_name]">
<label for="video_attachment_video_file_name">
<input id="video_filename" class="video-upload file" type="text" disabled="
disabled">
<object id="SWFUpload_0" class="swfupload" width="87" height="27" data="
I am not sure what you mean by [The only way to deal with these types of

Thank you,
Joe
