Good evening all!

I am working on a web site that needs MP3's and Videos integrated onto a page and wanted to know what everyone would suggest. Right now it's just setup as a link that opens up into a new window, but I would imagine there's some sort of script that would be a better option. Any suggestions?

OFF TOPIC: Does anyone know if Lightbox JS validates? I'm having issues with it on this same web site...

Thanks for the link. Very useful.

I inserted this code:

Code:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
        codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
        width="320" height="260">
         <param name="src" value="video/BYJazz1.mov" />
         <param name="autoplay" value="false" />
         <param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />
         <param name="controller" value="true" />
         <!--[if !IE]> <-->
         <object data="video/BYJazz1.mov" width="320" height="260" type="video/quicktime">
           <param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />
           <param name="controller" value="true" />
           </object>
           <!--> <![endif]-->
       </object>
But the video still autoplays. I don't think users would like hearing six different songs all played at once! Am I missing something?

I would have thought this

<param name="autoplay" value="false" />

would have worked.

Is the autoplay running in all browsers or just one?

So things are working the way you want in IE?

The only thing I can think of is the way you've used the conditional comment. Maybe you need to add the autoplay false in there as well.

The way you have the comment set seems strange to me though. I think only IE honors those comments so what's inside the conditional seems redundant. Still adding the autoplay false there is the only think I can think of at the moment.

I have no idea what IE does to it, I have a Mac (and IE for Mac is worse then PC IE so I don't even have it installed).

You know what? Having the double false autoplay worked for some reason...

I'm glad it worked. I think your browsers were reading what was in that conditional comment and not what was above so as far as they were concerned autoplay wasn't set to false until it was added again.

Sounds logical at least.

Thanks very much for your help. This is going to go into a text file so I have it on hand in the future.
