Can anybody show me how to modify the following code to make it show in all browsers?

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Video Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script src="Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_AX_RunContent( 'id','MediaPlayer','width','320','height','280','classid',
'CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95','codebase',
'http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112',

</script>

</body>
</html>

Welcome to WebmasterWorld empspot. As you can see, ActiveX only works in Internet Explorer, and with the security restrictions for most Windows installations these days, it may not even work there.

Usually you should use a combination of

object

and

embed

. Bear in mind that if you use Windows Media, it isn't really cross-platform friendly (ie. for Linux, Mac).
