I am finishing up with a new website. I created it using Dreamweaver 8. The problem I'm having is that embedded videos (YouTube) will play in my IE but not my FF. Here is the page:

www.BMXRadio.com/multimedia.html

Any ideas?

They work for me. Did you install Shockwave for Firefox?

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

I have the newest shockwave for Fire fox installed (10.x) but when I click on the video in Firefox, the whole page gets replaced by this:

"Not Found
The requested URL /<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F6ADdUEJJ_E" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

It sounds as though Fireofx is searching the server for the video instead of the link to YouTube. The embed code is the one provided by YouTube. Again, it works fine in Internet Explorer.

Any ideas?

This solved the problem:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F6ADdUEJJ_E"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F6ADdUEJJ_E" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
