Hi!

I am using the following piece of code written using JavaScript and <OBJECT> tag. The idea is to run a .WMV file (kind of a cover page) and when a user clicks on the object (anywhere) the user is taken to the main menu page. This works just fine in almost all versions of IE but does not work as expected in other browsers (especially Firefox and Google Chrome) though the .WMV file runs just fine in other browsers too. But I am not getting the effect that I want in other browsers except IE. Please help. Following is the code I have used in my HTML file.

.......

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function doThis(){
top.document.location.replace("mainmenu_kb.html")
}
//-->
</script>

<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="top"><table width="781" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
        <td align="center" valign="center">
           <a href="mainmenu_kb.html"><img width="781" height="81" border="0" src="http://www.hotscripts.com/forums/images/name.jpg" name="banner1" alt="Click ANYWHERE on the screen to enter the website!"></a>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="center" valign="top">
<span style="cursor:pointer"><OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="480" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject" onmousedown="doThis()">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://www.kalyanibondre.com/videos/cover_page.wmv">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="false">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="true">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="http://www.kalyanibondre.com/videos/cover_page.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="480" ShowControls="0" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="true" onmousedown="doThis()"></EMBED>
</OBJECT></span>

Please help!
Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert on OBJECT but I do know that CLSIDs are a Windows thing and don't work on other OSs. That is why other browsers don't use them they use something like this:

<object type="audio/mpeg" data="sound.mp3" width="200" height="20">
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
</object>

I THINK that for WMV the type is "video/x-ms-wmv"

Seen it, or do not quite understand.
