Hi guys,


I've got a problem... I'm developing a webpage on my computer and I
can't get the links to my MPEG movies to work. I want them to launch
in a Windows Media Player. This is my code...


<TD vAlign=top align=left><BR><A HREF="view_files/movie1.mpg"><*IMG
SRC="view_files/movie1_logo.jp*g" border="0"></A></TD>


I've checked code on other websites (running on webservers) and it's
the same. If I right click on the file and choose "save as" I can save
the file to another location on my hard drive so the link is true, but
when I click on the link Windows Media Player does not launch playing
the movie. Can someone give me some help with this.


Thanks in advance.
Lyndon.

Errrr, why is your mpeg within a <td> element? Is it tabular data? And why
are you putting style elements in your markup?
Anyway, the real answer lies within your browser and it's plug-ins. Your
tag-soup is (nearly) perfect.
