I have a page - and want to embed a WM9 file in it. The file has been set to
take up exactly half the XGA screen (512*768). I embed it with the following
code :

<body>
<object classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
type="application/x-oleobject" width="512" height="768" align="texttop"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."
id="MediaPlayer">
<param name="FileName" value="test.wmv">
<param name="TransparentAtStart" value="true">
<param name="AutoStart" value="true">
<param name="AnimationatStart" value="false">
<param name="ShowControls" value="false">
<param name="autoSize" value="false">
<param name="loop" value="true">
<embed
src="../../overlay/images/test.wmv" width="512" height="768"
autostart=0 align="texttop" type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage=
"http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"
transparentatstart=0
animationatstart=0
showcontrols=0
autosize=0
displaysize=0></embed> </object></body>

I then want to display the page, full screen, in Internet Explorer. But the
embedded video has a border of maybe 20 pixels to the left and top that
pushes the image off the screen (it is sezed to fit exactly).

Is there a way that I can get the video to embed tight into the top left
hand corner? or is this border just a "feature".

Many thanks for any advice.
Roberto.

Sure thing - There's no 'feature' or component of media player
involved in this, it is just basic CSS : Stick the following in your
pages head tags (which you've omitted to supply here) :

<style type="text/css">

</style>

By default, IE has borders (technically, margins) round the edge of
the page, they correspond to the 'border' you're takling about. Here,
we're switching them off using a style rule on the body element.
Technically, 'px' is not required when you specify zero for a CSS
value, but I left them in so you can see what it's doing. You could
also have specified

body {
margin: 0px 10px 5px 12px;
}

This would give you (clockwise from top) margins of 0, 10 (right), 5
(bottom) and 12 (left) pixels on the body element (or any element you
chose to use).

Cheers - Neil
