[thelist] Embedding video into webpage

[Devon Y.]

Have you tried using the <object> tag? I'm not sure if it will work for what
you're trying to do, but I imagine it might. It's standard in XHTML, and you
could probably get the controls to appear by using the <param> tags. Just a
thought. I haven't tried it.
