SillyDog701 • Help! I'm stumped on embedding video in Netscape 6 or 7

by **marknyc** » Sun 11 Aug, 2002 8:57 pm

I am a novice webmaster, and I can't get my video embeds to work in Netscape 6 or 7. They work fine in Netscape 4.79 and in IE 6, but not in N6 or7! If someone could take a look and tell me how to fix it, I'd be forever grateful.

I know that the code is sloppy, but it worked before:

http://www.ultinet.net/~kfo/video.html

The videos play in pop-up windows like this one:

http://www.ultinet.net/~kfo/open.html

If someone could just send me code for the "open.html" page that works, I could then copy that code for all the pages. I've tried to fix this for months and no one seems to know what the problem is.

Can anyone help? (Please don't tell me how bad my code is unless you want to help fix it!)

Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to mention that you need RealPlayer to view the clips.

This One works,just the position of the video is not right.

Code: Select all: <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win98; U) [Netscape]"> <meta name="rnpagelayout" content="embedded"> <meta name="rnserverpath" content="C:\My Documents\"> <meta name="rnmediafile" content="george.rm"> <meta name="rnmetafile" content="george.rpm"> <meta name="description" content="kukla fran and ollie"> <meta name="keywords" content="kukla fran and ollie"> <meta name="Author" content="kfo"> <meta name="Description" content="kukla fran and ollie video"> <meta name="KeyWords" content="kukla fran and ollie video"> <title>George Washington's Birthday</title> </head> <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" link="#0000EE" vlink="#551A8B" alink="#FF0000" background="tvset3.jpg"> <object ID=video1 CLASSID="clsid:CFCDAA03-8BE4-11cf-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA" align="top" align="left" hspace="246" vspace="126" HEIGHT=120 WIDTH=160><param NAME="controls" VALUE="ImageWindow"><param NAME="console" VALUE="Clip1"><param NAME="autostart" VALUE="true"><param NAME="src" VALUE="george.rpm"><embed SRC="george.rpm" type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" CONSOLE="Clip1" CONTROLS="ImageWindow" align="top" align="left" hspace="248" vspace="133" HEIGHT=120 WIDTH=160 AUTOSTART=true></object> </body> </html>

I have checked ur resource files

http://kfotv.virtualave.net/george.rm///this works
http://kfo.virtualave.net/guppies.rm//this doen't work

Is "kfotv" and "kfo" differene?if it does,i think this is the reason.

Wow, the first one sure produced more than its share of popups, to the point that I did not what was being looked at.

Guess I should've been clearer - yes, all the video clips play, but I can't get the alignment right in Netscape 6 or 7. If you try any of the above pages in Netscape 4.79 or IE 6, the video is centered in the TV set. But in N 6 or 7, it ends up on the right side.

Anyone have any idea how to fix that, or know where I can go to get help??

Thanks,

Mark

Using absolute positing?

Code: Select all: <div style="position: absolute; top:30px; left:30px"><object..... </div>

by **orizng** » Tue 13 Aug, 2002 3:20 am

simply add <div> and </div> just before and after tag <embed>,like this:

<div><embed src="....."....></div>

Thanks a ton! The <div> code did the trick! Look:

http://www.ultinet.net/~kfo/video.html

I just changed all the pages. (What does that code mean, anyway?)

Damn, I knew there was a simple solution, but no one seemed know it.

Thanks again - you are awesome!!!!
