I have a flv player that calls a web service. the web service returns info about the flv like location name, blah blah blah

the problem is, this only seems to work in IE and not in FireFox. I can’t for the live of me think of why the browser would cause a problem.

Please try the link out for yourself to see if you come across the issue.

FF don’t like to render things that are utterly invalid rendering markup. I’m sure if you wrap everything up in proper xhtml it will work fine in FF too.
