Happy new year all,

I've uploaded a .mov file to a FP web.

I'd like to put a link so that the user can click and the video clip can be
shown.

As in:

<a href="delaware.mov">Click to download the video clip [2,000 kb]</a>

The .mov file is called

delaware.mov

In preview mode in FrontPage, I double click and it plays.

However, when I go to the site and click on the link, the page load with
just the icon of a .jpg file - with no video.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Wishing all a happy and healthy new year
Eddy
 
Please provide a link to the live site with this file....

Did you publish the movie file?

Check that the a href is not pointing to your hard drive with the file,
rather than an http: address. This can happen if you don't import the file
first, then insert a link to it.

Make sure your web is open when you import it.

When all is done, republish the html page with the link to the mov file and
the mov file itself.
