I have created a web page that sets a 400 pix x 300 pix box in a fixed location on the page in order to display a slide show that loops thru 9 slides. The slide show was created with Photoshop Elements 6.0. In my HTML code I have set a param to NOT display the controls for the player. This works fine using MSIE v8.0 on my Windows Vista PC, but Mozilla's Firefox v3.0 ignores that param and displays the controls anyway. Why? Please help!!! Also, what would I have to change in order to use 'Quicktime' instead of MediaPlayer, and would that work any better in both browsers (and in Safari on a Mac)? Thank you. Here is the code I'm using:
<span id="myslides" style="position:absolute;left:575;top:200;">
<object id="MediaPlayer" width=400 height=300
classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
standby="Loading Windows Media Player components…" type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="filename" value="AVE_Slide_Show.wmv">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="False">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">
<param name="loop" value="True">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
src="AVE_Slide_Show.wmv" name="MediaPlayer">
</embed>
</object>
</span>
