Embed Tag in Internet Explorer not working

Question

Hello All,

I am developing a publishing portal in SharePoint. I have embedded a video in my page using the traditional embed tag inside the object tag. It works fine in Firefox. But, the video is not at all rendered in IE. I have IE 8 in my machine.

Is there any other way to add video in my page which is compatible with all the renowned browsers? I don't want to use any of the third party controls here. Any insights?

Regards, Raghuraman.V

Answer 1

Just so that we cover all posibilities have you tried adding a Content Editor Web Part, then inserting the object to that web parts source code option? If that doesn't work, there is probably something wrong wtih your object tag!

Answer 2

embed tag is for Mozilla only, you should use object tag for IE
