trying to embed movie, but it's messing up design of site...

[spewn]

hello!

I have this bit of code:

    <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=100%>
    <tr>
    <td><img src=new/img/spc.gif width=1 height=16></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>
<!-- from here -->
    <object width="228" height="200">
    <param name="showcontrols" value="1">
    <param name="autostart" value="1">
    <embed src="images/b_2.wmv" width="228" height="200" autostart="1" showcontrols="1"></embed> 
<!-- to here -->
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td><img src=new/img/spc.gif width=1 height=10></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td><img src=new/img/b2.gif width=228 height=152 border=0 alt='' title=''></td>
    </tr>
    </table>

when i put the embed code in (from here -- to here) it really throws off my table design, yet when I take it out, the site is back to normal. do i have to do something with DIVS or anything? i want to put it in the website, but it's really messing things up.

Firstly, you never close the <object> element. That cannot be good. Also, giving the modern browsers, embed might not be needed.

Since we have no idea what your design is like, we don't know how it would be 'throwing' it. To me, it looks like the object will make that table cell 228px wide and 220px high. Whether that is agreeable with your design or not, I don't know.

I do recommend however that you do not use tables for the layout and look at CSS for achieving that instead.
