Hi;

What is the or a standard script that you would include in a web page (html) for embedding a video clip, ideally, one that allows you to specify or alter the height and width in pixels?
This may seem like a silly-basic-question , but the number of free scripts that I have tried using that failed is so many, that I've lost count. Usually my editor (Dreamweaver), highlights them in yellow, indicating a missing tag or something...
I don't care if it's javascript, a basic html-type clause, so long as it works in a simple way...

Many thanks if anyone can help.

You can find plenty of help on the 'net.

Search for embed player html. Make sure it is described as cross-browser ready - meaning it will work with most browsers.

This embeds a player with javascript and then uses buttons to start and stop playing.

HTML Code:

<a href="javascript:StartMeUp()" title="listen" id="Preview" name="Preview"><img src="images/cp/16x16/actions/player_play.png" alt="listen" /></a><SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
var sAudioFile='name of audio file';

if(-1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE"))
{
document.write('<OBJECT id="Player" style="display:none" ');
document.write('classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"');
document.write('width=0 height=0><\/OBJECT>');
}
else if(-1 != navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox"))
{
document.write('<OBJECT id="Player" ');
document.write('type="application/x-ms-wmp"');
document.write('width=0 height=0><\/OBJECT>');
}
var Player=document.getElementById('Player')
function StartMeUp ()
{
	if (sAudioFile!='')
                     {
	    Player.URL = sAudioFile;
                         Player.src=sAudioFile;
                     }
}
function ShutMeDown ()
{
    Player.controls.stop();
}
</SCRIPT>

You can adjust the height and width as necessary.
