    <p>I found a good article about <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd562847.aspx" rel="nofollow">using the WMP with Firefox</a> on MSDN.</p> <p>Based on MSDN's article and after doing some trials and errors, I found using JavaScript is better than using conditional comments or nested "EMBED/OBJECT" tags.</p> <p>I made a JS function that generate WMP object based on given arguments:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function generateWindowsMediaPlayer( holderId, // String height, // Number width, // Number videoUrl // String // you can declare more arguments for more flexibility ) { var holder = document.getElementById(holderId); var player = '&lt;object '; player += 'height="' + height.toString() + '" '; player += 'width="' + width.toString() + '" '; videoUrl = encodeURI(videoUrl); // Encode for special characters if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") &lt; 0) { // Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari //player += 'type="application/x-ms-wmp" '; //Old Edition player += 'type="video/x-ms-wmp" '; //New Edition, suggested by MNRSullivan (Read Comments) player += 'data="' + videoUrl + '" &gt;'; } else { // Internet Explorer player += 'classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" &gt;'; player += '&lt;param name="url" value="' + videoUrl + '" /&gt;'; } player += '&lt;param name="autoStart" value="false" /&gt;'; player += '&lt;param name="playCount" value="1" /&gt;'; player += '&lt;/object&gt;'; holder.innerHTML = player; } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then I used that function by writing some markups and inline JS like these:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id='wmpHolder'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; window.addEventListener('load', generateWindowsMediaPlayer('wmpHolder', 240, 320, 'http://mysite.com/path/video.ext')); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>You can use <strong><em>jQuery.ready</em></strong> instead of <strong><em>window load event</em></strong> to making the codes more backward-compatible and cross-browser.</p> <p>I tested the codes over IE 9-10, Chrome 27, Firefox 21, Opera 12 and Safari 5, on Windows 7/8.</p>

    1. COThis works, but in Firefox the entire video is downloaded before it will start playing. Obviously this creates a rather long loading screen. Is there any way to have this stream the video in Firefox?

    2. COUnfortunately I did'nt find way(s) to prevent this problem. Apparently, this is the nature of WMP object on Firefox. For this reason, I use **window's load event**, because this is latest point(moment) of page's markups(resources) interpretation. Setting the **data** attribute after loading the page, maybe decrease the loading time (obviously not 100%!). Good luck.

    3. COI found a solution. Changed the type of the firefox player to video/x-ms-wmv. I also noticed that firefox and chrome couldn't play videos which had spaces in the title. I fixed this by replacing all empty spaces in the videoUrl string with '%20' and then it worked fine

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
