    Been experimenting with embedding Real Player video files into my website but have hit on a slight snag.

    The clips play back fine in Internet Explorer and Firefox, but in Netscape I get an error message saying I need to download realplayer, despite the fact it's already installed.

    I've tried re-installing, but get the same error message. Other sites displaying embedded realplayer clips play back fine, but when I copy the code they use into my webpage it doesn't work

    A page with an embedded file can be seen at
    http://www.clipsfromthecrypt.co.uk/shockwavestvtrlr.htm

    If anyone has any ideas where I'm going wrong with the coding I'd be really greatful as I cannot figure out why it works on other peoples sites in that browser but not mine.

    TIA

    To answer my own question, all that was needed was to add the tag TYPE="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" in the <Embed tag

    ie.

    <EMBED TYPE="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin"
    SRC="realplayerurl.rm"
    WIDTH="200"
    HEIGHT="180"
    AUTOSTART="true">
    </EMBED>

    Now it plays in Netscape as well as the other browsers
