The code for the embedded player on the left is written below.
We use the <object / param> tags to embed the video into a Web page viewed in Internet Explorer. IE allows us to specify the location of the video file using an absolute URL (beginning with "http://"). So, for
<param name="src" value="http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/movies/Steves_Stuff/HotLava.mov">
the browser will attempt to find this movie on a server which is different from the one hosting this Web page.
We use the <embed> tag to embed the video into a Web page viewed in Netscape Navigator. Unfortunately, Navigator does not allow us to reference a video that is not stored in the same folder as this Web page. To embed the video for Netscape, I had to copy the video to the same folder that contains this Web page. Therefore, I used a relative link (not beginning with http://) as opposed to an absolute URL.
