embeding windows media player into a webpage

[Johnick]

Normally i just do this

<embed src = "ff1.mpg" width = "320" height = "256"></embed>

This works fine for me at home on my comp (Athlon XP 2000 + win98se).But it doesnt work on the computers in college (1ghz PIII + win2kpro).I need to get it working for college tommorow so plz help if you can.

Ps - i havent been doing html for long, and this has to be done in notepad

it could be that your college machines don't allow embedded movies...if it works fine at home and not at college I would think it is a setting somewhere.

Try making it an animated gif or Flash swf file.

Try this code: <EMBED SRC="http://locationoffile" HEIGHT="60" WIDTH="135" AUTOSTART="true">

Height and Width state how high and wide you want the console to appear. SRC means the location of the file. AUTOSTART true means that the music will play when the page loads.


<BGSOUND SRC="http://locationoffile" LOOP=1>

This shows no player. It just embeds the music into the page. LOOP and the Number means how many times the music will play such as in the example the music will only play one time through. If you put infinite the loop will never end.

<EMBED SRC="http://locationoffile" HEIGHT="60" WIDTH="135" AUTOSTART="true">
<NOEMBED>
<BGSOUND SRC="HTTP://locationoffile" LOOP=1>
</NOEMBED>

The NOEMBED tag displays whatever is nested inside it to visitors who's browsers don't support the Embed tag.


Hope this helps. Good Luck!
