Here's the problem, fellas/felines.<br />
<br />
I'm using IE 6.0.2600.0000.<br />
<br />
I want to have a small console to play back a .MID file on my site. I've got this working OK with the <embed> tag. Though this isn't legal HTML 4.0 and hence I could get marked down for including it.<br />
<br />
I know the equivalent is <object>, though when I include that it doesn't have a console (ie quicktime) / play back the piece (I'm using TYPE="audio/midi" and nothing's appearing where I want the player). I get the "alternative text" I put between the object tags coming up (as opposed to the player), which indiates my browser doesn't support it...<br />
<br />
Anyone know what's happening here?<br />
<br />
The object tag is supposedly compatible with IE6.<br />
<br />

I don't know if this is any use but there's an article on the same issue regarding embedding .swf files in xhtml at alistapart (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.alistapart.com/stories/flashsatay/">http://www.alistapart.com/stories/flashsatay/</a><!-- m -->) <br />
