The code there is ASP (Microsoft Active Server Pages), enclosed in the ASP
tags <% and %>.
ASP code is completely independant of the browser, sorry John but Netscape
never sees the server side code, just what it outputs, doesn't matter if you
use VBScript, JScript, or write your own ISAPI to translate a custom macro
language, it makes no difference to the browser.
Anyway, just wanted to clear that up.
As to the original poster, your EMBED tag is wrong, pass the parameter to
the src=... area, not movie=... part.
Hope this helps!
