I am new to HTML, but found several helpful sites. I wanted to embed a media player and found code to do so. I Put in the code and fixed the appropriate areas for my video. It worked, but only on my computer. Then I got another similar code and the player is there, but it has to Download <!--more--> the player first. As most do, I already have windows media player, but that's ok. The problem then is that it tries to Download <!--more--> again. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this code or how to make the site access the media player already installed in Internet Explorer. The code I used will follow.<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
</object><br />
<br />
That should be it. Any help would be much appreciated.<br />

M Luna<!--content-->If its an avi or mpg the browser can already handle that so you can rpobably just put a link to the video on your site and explorer will take it from there. Try it, play with it, see if it works =)<!--content-->huh well I tried just going to your video in my address bar and it triggered a Download <!--more-->, but try it anyway, it could not hurt<!--content-->
