not functioning ../ with mpg file
Hello all,
I have a problem with a mpg video in embed tag.
When I use this:
<EMBED src="video.mpg" WIDTH="370" HEIGHT="251.7" LOOP="TRUE" AUTOSTART="FALSE"></embed> or
<EMBED src="/path/video.mpg" WIDTH="370" HEIGHT="251.7" LOOP="TRUE" AUTOSTART="FALSE"></embed>it works without a problem.
But when I use:
<EMBED src="../video.mpg" WIDTH="370" HEIGHT="251.7" LOOP="TRUE" AUTOSTART="FALSE"></embed> or
<EMBED src="../path/video.mpg" WIDTH="370" HEIGHT="251.7" LOOP="TRUE" AUTOSTART="FALSE"></embed> Then the video can't be found.
Also when I use:
<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="285"
classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'

<!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file -->
<!-- begin link to launch external media player... -->
<tr><td align='center'>
<a href="../video.mpg" style='font-size: 85%;' target='_blank'>Launch in external player</a>
<!-- ...end link to launch external media player... -->
</td></tr>
</table>It didn't work but the href link works. Probably a "SRC" problem?
I use IE.
Is there a workaround? Has anybody seen this?
Thanks
