:shock: ???
I'm confused. Not what you are looking for? I think it is.
This is what you originally posted...
I once had the HTML script to embed a .avi movie file on a web page the same as we do jpg & gif files. No it didn't open up a Media player and I don't want it to, it simply played right in the table and/or frame you put it in. Do anybody know that script, I lost it.

According to what you originally asked, you are looking for a movie to play right within (embedded in) a web page (table - frame - doesn't matter), without the person's media player of choice installed in Windows opening instead to play the movie. Right? That's the way I read your initial post and that is what my response was based on.
I think you misread/misunderstood the references I posted.
Let's isolate just one movie that is part of the selection list at my
Wacky Videos page....
http://nunzioweb.com/misc/wacky/rescue_baby.htmWhen you click on the above link, a web page opens with the movie embedded right
within that page, and the movie begins playing. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding you, that is exactly what you want to do.
So, in case that is what you want (and I'm pretty certain it is), then here is the cross-browser object and embed controls (for cross-browser compatability) used on that page, to allow the video to play and work perfectly
within a web page in all major browsers...
<object id="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="280" height="256">
<param name="fileName" value="Kick_Baby_2.mpg">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-450">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="Kick_Baby_2.mpg" name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=256 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-450>
</object>
Just change both instances indicated in
red in the above code to point to your .avi movie file instead of mine. That's all.
If you prefer to not have the player controls showing (visible), then change these lines...
<param name="showControls" value="true">
showcontrols=1
to this instead...
<param name="showControls" value="false">
showcontrols=0
If you do that though, you may also have to change the 2 instances of the height value of the movie to compensate for the missing controls, to not show any "black" space where the controls should have been.
Example:
Change the 2 height values of 256 to 212 or so. That should embed the movie nicely cross-browser, since the player controls are approximately 44 pixels high.
*Note: width and height values will need to be changed to reflect the size of the actual movie, since different movies have different dimensions. Your movie may be larger/smaller than mine.
