On a side, but related to object: Attached are 2 object examples. I'd be interested in what plug-in (if it's installed) should be loaded: 1. When file.wmv is present. 2. When file.wmv is not present. Comparing browser behavior doesn't really help make a clear decision.(especially with #2) As in, does the spec as-is cover everything nicely as to how to handle these situations, in your opinion? (Not sure yet myself. It can get pretty crazy.) -- Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
