Fair enough; I do this all the time. First, get rid of any properties you won't usee (makes the html a little cleaner).

Try this:

<object id=&quot;mmPlayer&quot;
name=&quot;mmPlayer&quot;
classid=&quot;CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95&quot;
codebase=&quot; width=&quot;176&quot;
height=&quot;216&quot;
type=&quot;application/x-oleobject&quot;
standby=&quot;Loading Microsoft Media Player components...&quot;>
<param name=&quot;filename&quot; value=&quot; <param name=&quot;ShowControls&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;>
<param name=&quot;ShowAudioControls&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;>
<param name=&quot;ShowPositionControls&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;>
<param name=&quot;ShowTracker&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;>
<param name=&quot;ShowStatusBar&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;>
<param name=&quot;AnimationatStart&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;>
<param name=&quot;AutoStart&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;>
<param name=&quot;AutoSize&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;>

<embed id=&quot;mmPlayer&quot;
name=&quot;mmPlayer&quot;
src=&quot; pluginspage=&quot; type=&quot;video/x-ms-asf-plugin&quot;
width=&quot;176&quot;
height=&quot;216&quot;
showcontrols=&quot;1&quot;
showaudiocontrols=&quot;1&quot;
showpositioncontrols=&quot;0&quot;
showtracker=&quot;1&quot;
showstatusbar=&quot;1&quot;
animationatstart=&quot;1&quot;
autostart=&quot;1&quot;
autosize=&quot;0&quot;>
</embed>
</object>


Funky thing about WMP I learned from trial and error. If you want an exact lookalike from the IE version, make the &quot;true&quot; from IE controls and make them &quot;1&quot; (and &quot;0&quot; for false).

For example:

the equivalent of

<param name=&quot;ShowStatusBar&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;>

is

showstatusbar=&quot;1&quot;

Hope that helps.

One more note,

I'm not sure why you submit a thread here and it adds a semi-colon at the end of some href's. Just omit the semi-colon when you write your finished code...

8198/funny/movies/squash.avi&quot;>

instead of

8198/funny/movies/squash.avi&quot;;>
