Viewing video on web page

We are trying to put video on our web page. So far when the link is clicked the code shows. I know there is a way to click on a button and view the video, I've done that on other sites. I've gone into their view source, but since I don't know what I'm looking for I could be looking right at it.<br />
Is there anybody who knows what the code is?<br />
<br />
More info: The file needs Windows Media Player, and we have a link for getting that Download <!--more-->ed if somebody needs it.<br />
The guy who set it on the site for us put it on a 'click here' link, but that just shows code.<br />
<br />
I went to 'inventionchannel.com' and watched some of their videos just by clicking - I was looking for something like that.<br />

Latest: I tried <img>...</img> that didn't work.<br />
I tried: <embed src = <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/">http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/</a><!-- m -->"movie/onedersquare_demo.wmv" width="320" height="256"<br />
plugins page="http://windowsmedia.com/Download <!--more-->/Download <!--more-->.asp"><br />
<br />
It said I need to Download <!--more--> windows media, but I already have that on my computer. <br />
The movie is on my machine, and it works fine from the desktop.<br />
<br />
Still trying, thanks for the suggestions.<!--content-->typically if youhave a video embeded in the page say a *.wav type,and if the browser has a plugin installed to view that types of videoit should automatically start..what exactly is your problem...<!--content-->well you can have one that starts right away like streaming with no click needed. just use an <img> tag<br />
