A big favor

Would somebody show me what html tags are used to upload a Windows Media Player file onto a webpage?

I have such a file (currently on my desktop) that I would like to add to my webpage, and the geocities editor only does so much. However, I can add my own HTML code to the page.

So . . . does anybody know what tags are used?

You can try...

<embed src="http://url.com/movie" width=W height=H autostart=true loop=true>

BUT, I have no idea whether it will work with WMP files.

You may also be able to do...

<img src="image-tobedisplayedatstartandstop.gif" DYNSRC="MOVIE" ....>

This is IE ONLY, and again may not work with WMP.

If that does not work, you will need something like this...(and this does work, you just have to look up the id--which I obviously don't have memorized :wink:)

<object id="{13 digit id number for WMP goes here} src="movielocation">

The first three may or not work with WMP, and all 4 will not work if you don't have WMP. You also can't stream it.

BTW, you can always add a link, and let the browser figure out what to do with it. :brow:

<embed src=" {WMP file} " width="32" height="32"></embed>

should do it as long as it links to the file on your host server and it is there to be linked :hrm:

To accomplish this via Active X you could also try


<OBJECT

ID="mediaPlayer"

CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"

CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/
controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"

STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."

TYPE="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="{fileName}"
VALUE="{file}">

<PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">

</OBJECT>
