Help with code to load new revMedia revlet

[rudyrever]

I have 2 very good music teaching revlets that work fine on my Mac mobileme server but, for security reasons my school system insist that I remove those links and use only their web server (Novell) that apparently will not allow the standard html code generated by revMedia to go through the proper plugin loading procedures.

I have yet to figure out how to get rid of the part of the html code that keeps my revMedia files from working from the school server but since it is not on my school site, you guys can click this link to see the revlets at work:

I feel like if I could lose some of this code:

<!-- Embed your revlets using code like this, to automatically guide the user to install the plugin, if it is not already installed -->
<div id="plugin" style="display:none">
<object classid="CLSID:B2EC94AF-4716-4300-824A-3314BF23664A" width=640 height=480>
<param name="src" value="ScalePlayer.revlet"/>
<param name="stack" value="ScalePlayer"/>
<param name="requestedName" value=""/>
<param name="instanceID" value=""/>
<embed type="application/x-revolution"
src="ScalePlayer.revlet"
width=640 height=480
stack="ScalePlayer"
requestedName=""
instanceID=""
></embed>
</object>
</div>
<div id="noplugin" style="display:none">
<a href="http://revweb.runrev.com"><img src="http://www.runrev.com/revweb/images/revweb-noplugin.gif" border=0></a>
</div>

especially the href to an external server (revweb & runrev) for the plug-in image, then I could get the revlet to work from my restictive school server. (I do not have these problems with QuickTime plug-in references on other pages however)

The standard code generated by revMedia after that is even more complicated to an html illiterate like myself. You can view it all from the source view on your browser.

Any suggestions?

Hi Rudy,

if I understand your problem correctly, your shool does not allow a link to an external image, in this case the RunRev "no plug in installed" Web Logo?

In that case you can change the last 3 lines to display text instead of the logo form the RunRev site:

...
<div id="noplugin" style="display:none">
<p><a href="http://revweb.runrev.com">Click here to load and install the necessary plug-in!</a></p>
</div>

P.S.
But the webaddress in the link is definitively necessary for everyone who has NOT the plug in installed on his machine yet! And that address is so far the only place where you can load it!

So removing the link completely may result in a classical "Catch 22"?

Thanks for the input Klaus, but after tinkering with the code that relates to loading the revlet, I believe that my problem may be the plug-in not functioning properly in this Novell server environment. The first code did as you suggested but still no soap with the revlet loading. On a PC or Mac with the plug-in installed I see the loading revWeb content message and a revlet loading prompt but it never loads.

Since revMedia is an Alpha, is there a chance that an older server environment will just not let the plug-in load the revlet?

As I mentioned before, the revlet stacks work beautifully from the Apple mobile.me server on the site that my school system won't let me link to.

Thanks again,
