Basic Problem in Firefox

Hi all, this is my first post. ?

First of all, excuse me for my english… I’m italian ?

My problem is about this simple code:

[CODE]
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
function showVideo(){
document.write(“<object id=”video” width=”320″ height=”240″ classid=”clsid:6bf52a52-394a-11d3-b153-00c04f79faa6″ type=”application/x-oleobject”> <param name=”url” value=”http://www.rainews24.it/ran24/speciali/guerra_petrolio/video/petrolio_1.wmv”> <param name=”sendplaystatechangeevents” value=”true”> <param name=”autostart” value=”true”> <param name=”uimode” value=”none”> <param name=”playcount” value=”9999″></object>”);
}
//–>
</script>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><script>showVideo();</script></TD>
<TD><script>showVideo();</script></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
[/CODE]

It works perfectly in Internet Explorer, but in Firefox the videos are not shown.

Why??? ? ? ? ?

@Khalid_AliJul 10.2005 — u need to understand first where and when document.write () should be used.

[b]document.write ()[/b] can be used when a document is not created as yet. which means you should place the show video code in the head and do not call it in the body.

Second there are other ways(in my opinin better) to get such work done. Which is istead of document.write(), you can use element.innerHTML or add a new element (object) and then set all of its parameter.

@EpperauthorJul 10.2005 — Thankyou Very Much!!!!

I thought it was like PHP ? ? ?

(There is another problem in my code: Firefox doesn't like <object> so I've to user <embed>.)

Thankyou Again ?

Actually, Firefox has better support for the [FONT=Courier New]<object>[/FONT] tag than Internet Explorer, you're just not implementing it correctly:
&lt;object width="320" height="240" type="video/x-ms-wmv"
data="http://www.rainews24.it/ran24/speciali/guerra_petrolio/video/petrolio_1.wmv"&gt;
Please download the latest version of Windows Media Player&lt;/object&gt;

You'll probably need to add the [FONT=Courier New]clssid[/FONT] and [FONT=Courier New]<param>[/FONT] back in again for it to work in Internet Explorer again, but [i]that[/i] is how the [FONT=Courier New]<object>[/FONT] tag is [i]supposed[/i] to work.
