52 removing the controller under WMV files
I’m at my wits end… I have used every code I know to embed a WMV file on my splash page, yet it keeps appearing with the controller, even though I have controller=false in my code. (C:\Websites\CHLBI\chl_splash1.htm)
It works fine with my MOV page.(C:\Websites\CHLBI\chl_splash2.htm)Source:
<embed src=“layout/Layout2006/Animation/CHL2.wmv” width=“600” height=“400” ‘controller=false’, ‘’,></embed>
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Well, I now have a hybrid of the Castro method and the Apple method….and I’m begingin to loose control of things!
All was going well – even IE 6.0.29 with SP2 under Win XP Pro was behaving (as was Safari 2.04, FF 1.5.0.8 & IE 5.2 all under Mac OS X)! Then I installed FF 2.0 under Win XP Pro – and now I’m back to square 1 with pormpts to install stuff!
It seems as soon as you fix this for one bunch of browsers, and begin testing on the next – the bubble pops. Is there a definitive version of the code structure out there will enable the embedding of MP3 files with a controller, without having to click through a thousand dialogues and sign your life away? Is it really that much to ask for?

54 Embedding Videos within Scrollable DIV / Browser s
Anyone come across the problem with scrolling embedded videos within scrollable DIVs?
I have embedded a video (youtube,google) within a scrollable DIV and upon viewing them on the mac browsers – Safari, Opera, OmniWeb and InternetExplorer, it produces an undesired effect.
Firefox seems to be an exception, but the browsers mentioned above doesn’t recognise the boundaries of the DIV. So the video is not hidden at all within the confines, and when you scroll down to view the rest of the content underneath, a ghost image of the video remains..
Here is a link for a simple demo

The coding is straight forward. I just want to know if this is a known issue, if so are there any methods around it.. (searching the web has been to no avail). Also are PC users experiencing the same?
