I tried galleries and slide-shows for a site I'm doing but Quicktime movie was the best for me so I sent the file to the FTP and one to Dreamweaver local and I linked the file to the "paintings page" where I want it to appear but nothing is showing up. I'm missing some code I think. Can anyone help? The site is [url]Soneliussmith.com[/url]. Thanks for any help,

Photoshop Elements didn't like some files and refused to run them on slide show, and it wouldn't work on some browsers and the font was in all different sizes even though I put 12.

The color was very drab and foggy in the "Museum" gallery and again it ignored some of the slides.

PDF wasn't good either! I'm just telling you my experiences which took hours and hours to find out.

Thanks for any advice, Prabha

Ok.. So i went to your page and tried to view your movie (you are trying to place it on the PAINTINGS page correct?)

Your issue is, you just put the file name in the code. You need to use the object embed for any type of movie..

This is your code as it is now:


that code does nothing.. You do not have it contained inside of anything, and its just a file name.

try this..

paste the following code into your website:


now, this may or may not work. It depends on where you uploaded your movie file to. Is it inside of a folder? If it is, then you want to put the foldername/Sonelius' Paintings.mov

ALSO, you have a major issue.. You have spaces AND a ' in your file name. NEVER - i repeat NEVER EVER use spaces or anything that is not alpha or numeric or underscore in your file names. so you should first rename your file
soneliuspaintings.mov

hope this helps.. please post back if you are having issues

Thanks IG but

I have opened my version of dreamweaver, and tried to input a video, and i found that using DESIGN mode does not always work. What you should consider doing is working in SPLIT mode. Doing this, you can put your cursor in the place where you want your video to be, that will put a cursor in the correct place in the code mode. Then, when just on top of that cursor so that it knows that you want to work in CODE mode. Then you have to copy and paste and the code that I posted above directly into that area.

Also, you have to change your file name. You can not have capitals and spaces in a file name, it can break things.
