ie7 issues

[bjuan]

hi guy's, i'm pretty much a noob at the whole webpage thing, but anyway here are my issues. first of all is the <object> element, seen as though the <embed> is going to be out phased, i can get it to work in firefox, but the same code refuses to run on ie7 having to put extra <param> values in especially for video files. is there an easier way to remeber what <param> values need to be added to make a idiot proof embeded webpage to run both in firefox and ie7? <embed> works fine for both browsers. and the second is a splash page that automatically redirects to a homepage the <meta> redirect works fine in firefox showing the embedded flash video before redirecting, but ie7 just refreshes the splashpage all the time and does not redirect. any suggestions??
thanks in advance...

The best way to insert an object is to use a combination of both object and embed parameters for backwards compatibility. Just make sure the embed is located within the object.

Sample

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cJEUfuVUfP4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cJEUfuVUfP4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

I don't see how meta refresh doesn't work on most if not all browsers, works fine for me.

maybe it's an issue with ie7, i'll try and reinstall it to see, just wandering if anybody else has had the same problem
