Embedding a Windows Media Player----This time we used a movie file

Go here to see how it works, not concerned with slideshow, but the movie

Accounting for Netscape

we'll need to account for Netscape's method for calling embedded players, the EMBED tag. Here the EMBED tag is contained inside the OBJECT tag, so that the player will also work with Internet Explorer.

Copy and paste this code fragment into your HTML document, and then we'll modify it. Note: Some of these lines are truncated to fit on the screen. When you drop this code onto your page, make sure the URLs and longer lines of code appear in one line.

When you've pasted this code in, simply change these two strings to point to your file. <PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="yourfilehere.asf"> and SRC="yourfilehere.asf"

Now, test the code in both browsers. This codebase is, I've noticed, variously effective for different versions of Netscape Navigator; some versions will attempt to load Java if ActiveX isn't installed. Always test carefully.
