Using CuteEditor to upload mpeg files and depending if i use Firefox or Internet Explorer the source code produced is different.

 

If i upload files with Firefox it adds the following code that allows the video to work.

 

 

I'm experiencing the same problem when using the 'insert media' button, although for me the problem only occurs with IE6 -- but it does affect all video file types, not just MPEG.

 

I've found that when using Cute Editor in IE6, sometimes the necessary <param> tags are generated by Cute Editor, but sometimes they are not (seemingly at random), and switching between Normal > HTML > Preview views before the form is submitted also immediately removes the <param> tags and prevents a video from displaying in IE. When using Cute Editor in IE7 or Firefox the tags are generated and retained as expected.

 

I can't recreate the problem on the Cute Editor demo page, but we are using much larger video files (eg. 2MB) than the tiny 'clock 'example AVI made available here -- don't know if this would make any difference?

 

Is this a bug, or a configuration issue? I've checked my configuration settings and can't find anything that would affect <param> tags between browsers in this way -- but any advice would be appreciated.
