    Why is it that my video code will work in a htm page, but not in a blog post? The htm page shows the player fine, but the player doesn’t even show in the blog post. WordPress sucks for this.
    code is below:

    <script type=”text/javascript”
    src=”http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/swfobject.js”></script&gt;

    <div id=”player”>This text will be replaced</div> <script type=”text/javascript”>

    var so = new SWFObject
    (‘http://www.towardpraxis.com/blog/mediaplayer.swf&#8217;,’mpl’,’500′,’200′,’8′);
    so.addParam(‘allowscriptaccess’,’always’);
    so.addParam(‘allowfullscreen’,’true’);
    so.addVariable(‘height’,’200′);
    so.addVariable(‘width’,’500′);
    so.addVariable(‘file’,’http://www.towardpraxis.com/blog/playlist.xml&#8217;);
    so.addVariable(‘backcolor’,’0x000033′);
    so.addVariable(‘frontcolor’,’0x6666FF’);
    so.addVariable(‘lightcolor’,’0xFFFFFF’);
    so.addVariable(‘screencolor’,’0x6666FF’);
    so.addVariable(‘displaywidth’,’200′);
    so.addVariable(‘searchbar’,’false’);so.write(‘player’);
    </script>

    The code is getting messed up during saving.

    eg. `<script type=”text/javascript”></p>
    <p>var so = new SWFObject`

    Those paragraph tags in amongst the JavaScript are probably making the code invalid. When you paste the code into the form you may have to remove whitespace and line-breaks so that WordPress doesn’t interpret a line break as a cue to insert a paragraph.

    So rather than it looking like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject

    it would look like this:

    <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject

    That would be what I’d start with.

    And I’m assuming you’re using the plain text editor.

    Hi,

    I am fairly new to wordpress getting better at it but I want to embed a jw player with playlist from the code used below.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do, step by step instructions.

    I have turned off the rich text editor and pasted the above code into the post text area and I get the following message:

    ‘This text will be replaced’

    <script type=”text/javascript”
    src=”http://www.mydomain.com/blog/swfobject.js”></script&gt;

    <div id=”player”>This text will be replaced</div> <script type=”text/javascript”>

    var so = new SWFObject
    (‘http://www.mydomain.com/blog/mediaplayer.swf&#8217;,’mpl’,’500′,’200′,’8′);
    so.addParam(‘allowscriptaccess’,’always’);
    so.addParam(‘allowfullscreen’,’true’);
    so.addVariable(‘height’,’200′);
    so.addVariable(‘width’,’500′);
    so.addVariable(‘file’,’http://www.mydomain/blog/playlist1.xml&#8217;);
    so.addVariable(‘backcolor’,’0x000033′);
    so.addVariable(‘frontcolor’,’0x6666FF’);
    so.addVariable(‘lightcolor’,’0xFFFFFF’);
    so.addVariable(‘screencolor’,’0x6666FF’);
    so.addVariable(‘displaywidth’,’200′);
    so.addVariable(‘searchbar’,’false’);so.write(‘player’);
    </script>

    Please can someone tell me if the above code is wrong and if not where do I put it?

    Thanks

    Paul
