I am trying to put a video in my website as a 9/11 memorial that I want to
publish on this upcoming 9/11 using FrontPage 2003. When I preview the video
in a browser, I can view it in Internet Explorer 7.0, but not only can't it
play in FireFox 2.3, I can't even see the Windows Media Player interface.
Does anyone know how I can get the video to play in both browsers? Thanks for
any help. I'd like this done by Tuesday afternoon at the latest EST. Thanks

I'm not a FrontPage user. Have you tried going to a web page that displays
the same file type (wmv) properly in both IE and Firefox, and viewing its
source to see how they do it? You might have to manually edit your
FrontPage-created html file to use what you have learned.

Well, I wasn't able to do it with Windows Media Player, but I found a way to
embed it from YouTube. Thank you very much
