Active x warning revisited

My original question was........

On a website I run ( http://gulfcoastmasons.com ) everytime I open my main page, I get a windows box that asks: "click to run active X control on this website"
This is very annoying.
Is there a code I can alter or add that would eliminate this box popping up?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was told it may be a security radio button...but I turned all those asking for a "prompt" to no longer prompt, and it still was happening.

I then in true geek fashion started eliminating sections of code chunk by chunk, to see what is actually causing it....it turns out the prompt was coming up as a result of a simple line of code to activate background music on the page (with a visable player) the simple html code is (with open/closed brackets removed so it will display):

embed src="http://www.gulfcoast...M/stairway.mid" loop="true" autoplay="true" width="145" height="60"></embed

so, is there any other code, dhmtl, java or ? I can use to play a background midi that won't cause the active x box to pop up when the page opens, or can I simply alter this chuck?

Thanks!

See if this works for you:

<object id="MediaPlayer" width="320" height="286" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Microsoft? Windows? Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.micro...,7,1112"><param name="filename" value="http://www.gulfcoast...way.mid"><param name="autoStart" value="true"><param name="showControls" value="true"><param name="ShowStatusBar" value="true"><param name="Autorewind" value="true"><param name="ShowDisplay" value="false">
<embed src="http://www.gulfcoast...M/stairway.mid" width="320" height="286" type="application/x-mplayer2" name="MediaPlayer" autostart="1" showcontrols="0" showstatusbar="1" autorewind="1" showdisplay="0"></embed>
</object>

Add/delete for your application. Hope I got the code right. :whistling:
