Embedding Windows Media on Webpage

[cphan]

Ok I'll make this quick.

Can someone provide me with an up to date code for embedding windows media player 9 and above on a webpage that works both on IE and Firefox. I can't seem to find a code that works on Firefox as well.

That only works for Internet Explorer. I need something like that but for firefox as well.

See the link Dan provides above? That is the way to do it.

This is the code:

<object type="video/x-ms-wmv" data="http://www.sarahsnotecards.com/catalunyalive/fishstore.wmv" width="320"
height="260" >
<param name="src" value="http://www.sarahsnotecards.com/catalunyalive/fishstore.wmv" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="qtsrcdontusebrowser" value="true" />
<param name="enablejavascript" value="true" />
<a href="http://www.sarahsnotecards.com/catalunyalive/fishstore.wmv">Movie of a Fish Store in Barcelona</a>
</object>

This works like a charm in IE and Firefox.

Odd, it worked for me in FF.
