Re: question - firefox ignores URL/FILENAME/SRC ...
Re: question - firefox ignores URL/FILENAME/SRC ... $0$0 $0 $0You can try adding the <embed> tag nested within the <object></object> tags like the <param> tags or get rid of the <object> and just use the <embed> tag. Both work in firefox 3 and above. The syntax is the same for nesting or using with out <object>. $0 $0$0 $0 $0 $0<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="media file name" NAME="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="xxx" HEIGHT="xxx" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="1" ShowDisplay="1" autostart="1"></EMBED> $0 $0 $0$0 $0 $0This will let you use the SRC attribute and dynamically change it.$0 $0$0 $0

mediaplayer.URL does not accept # in string
The activeX object Media Player does not accept a URL which includes %23 or #. Windows Media Player and Creative Organizer both play the file correctly. I have tried passing the URL both with the '#' symbol and also the escaped '%23' code. Neither works. Is there a restriction or is it a bug. It should accept the '%23' sequence so it must be a bug ??

INCORRECT for firefox - firefox ignores URL/FLENAME/SRC and insists upon data= tag in object
firefox ignores URL/FLENAME/SRC and insists upon data="media source URL"  in the <object> tag itself
does anyone know if assigning an id to the data tag will allow for dynamically changing the media source url?
I have problems with switching the data src dynamically and really need to accomplish this somehow.
