Big Problem With Videos

    Hi,

    I have a website I'm making and I am putting a youtube video link into it, however, the videos show up no problem in firefox, but in i.e.. I get the activex control yellow bar at top preventing the video from showing, meaning anyone with i.e cant click the youtube video and press play..

    Im just using the embed code you get from besides the youtube video..

    for example:

    <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/video"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/video" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

    It works perfect with firefox, but not with I.E..

    it's pretty ridiculous as I have searched for hours and I can't seem to solve this.

    Any help would be appreciated greatly, thanks.

    Just install the required activex control in Internet Explorer. Also, get the latest version of Adobe Flash.

    are you testing this in Dreamweaver (or whatever editor you use) preview mode or on your server?

    I can do it with Java Script. No "Click to activate" required. If interested PM me and it can be done within 1 hour.
