Help with <OBJECT> tag

Hi!

I have designed and developed a website where on the Home page I have a movie object that is run automatically when the page loads. This movie object is displayed without any player control (such as Play, FF or Rewind buttons). When the user clicks on this object anywhere it takes the user to the next page on the website. Basically I have hyperlinked <OBJECT> tag with <a href..> tag. So far so good. This works wonderfully well in Internet Explorer browser. But if the same site is viewed in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (3), the movie object is not displayed correctly nor is it hyerlinked correctly and therefore the user con not go to the next page in the website which has all the normal navigation menus etc.

Is there any solution to this? It is quite frustrating to see the website work in one browser and not work in other browsers. Please help. My HTML programming level is between intermediate and expert.

Need help soon.

Thank you in advance for whoever answers!

Please post your code so we can see it (otherwise all we can do is guess at what the issue might be).
