    there is usually quite a bit more code involved with an embedded wmv player... is that all of your wmv code?

    OK, here's the deal....The code works but it seems to be a firefox issue. It doesnt autoplay in explorer, you can see my dilemma here - http://www.bradsblog.net/?p=181

    i was referring to including things like the class i.d. of the player, something similar to this... firefox can be really finicky with embedded wmv:

    <OBJECT id=MediaPlayer codeBase=HTTP://ACTIVEX.MICROSOFT.COM/ACTIVEX/CONTROLS/MPLAYER/EN/NSMP2INF.CAB#VERSION=6,4,7,1112
    type=application/x-oleobject height=300
    standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." width=320
    classid=CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6>
