Fighting with Firefox

I feel actually dumb asking this question because I am just thinking it should be an easy deal with, but I’ve been at everthing afternoon and I’m from ideas. ANY help is very appreciated.

Issue:

I’m using Dreamweaver MX 2007.

I’ve a small video (thumbnail) image i always want to check out a video clip (. wmv) to ensure when clicked it simply opens Your windows program MediaPlayer and represents. Currently, this is working fine when browsing with IExplorer. The problem shows up when using Firefox.

If the linked thumbnail is actually clicked, Firefox opens way up a page involving unitelligable code (I think its the specific source code in the video file) in addition to, opens mediaplayer with a different message that states: " Glass windows Media Player cannot play the archive. If the record is on one more computer, verify that you will be connected to your network. If you typed a way, verify that it really is correct. If the condition persists, the server may not available. "

Does someone have a solution for me please This can be killing me in this article…

Thanks a lot!

I don’t even think this is something you can fix on your page. That seems as if a problem with the way Firefox can be handling the archive, which probably is not fixable. Especially if House windows MP is springing up, too.

Thanks for your reply.

What leads me to trust that this can be a problem with something to the page, is that only use Firefox on another woman’s web site plus click their thumbnail graphic. wmv it succeeds fine.

Every other ideas

Thanks a lot.

And so, the problem could still not always be with Firefox, it could be with the manner the server is definitely sending the document. If you’re having gibberish in Firefox, it can be probably being despatched as application/octet-stream, which Firefox doesn’t realize how to handle, instead of something like application/wmv-movie or anything. Have you tried out embedding it in the page using < embed> or perhaps < object>

I wonder if you don’t have the plug-in filled for Firefox on your computer, but your
friend has the plug-in packed in on their (so it functions fine on his).
