Two Media player questions Options

[ChasingLife87]

Alrighty. I just added this code to my xanga:

CODE

<td id="BlackMediaPlayer" style="WORD-WRAP: break-word" width="175" bgcolor="000000"><embed src="URL HERE PLEASE" width="280" height="45" style="filter:xray;">

The only things I changed were the URL and the width (also, it's not black, but I don't care), and I have a question and a problem.

Is there any way to turn off auto play? So the music doesn't play unless you actually hit "play"?

And...

I also just added a skin I coded to my site, and when you try to comment, this code apparently whacks it out. Not that you can't comment, but it puts the blog div next to the div that contains everything. It's ridiculous!

edit: MY GOD. My skin looked awesome OFFLINE, and in FF it's still okay, but in IE it's REALLY messed up!

Can anyone help? or should I just go back to basic EVERYTHING...

edit again: I hit refresh and my site was okay in IE again. I HATE XANGA'S CODING.

So never mind about the previous edit, and also about my second question, it only does this in FF. So it's probably just another dumb FF-ism.

I sound like such a noob today!

umm..
for no autoplay.. just add the bolded part

<td id="BlackMediaPlayer" style="WORD-WRAP: break-word" width="175" bgcolor="000000"><embed src="URL HERE PLEASE" width="280" height="45" style="filter:xray" autostart="false">

i think that should work..

Hmm, that's not working...

On the flip side, I fixed my alignment problems... I had a </p> after the media player without a <p> right before it. Duhh...

So, I can't get the no autoplay to work...
