We are trying to put video on our web page. So far when the link is clicked the code shows. I know there is a way to click on a button and view the video, I've done that on other sites. I've gone into their view source, but since I don't know what I'm looking for I could be looking right at it.
Is there anybody who knows what the code is?

More info: The file needs Windows Media Player, and we have a link for getting that downloaded if somebody needs it.
The guy who set it on the site for us put it on a 'click here' link, but that just shows code.

I went to 'inventionchannel.com' and watched some of their videos just by clicking - I was looking for something like that.

Latest: I tried <img>...</img> that didn't work.
I tried: <embed src = "movie/onedersquare_demo.wmv" width="320" height="256"
plugins page="http://windowsmedia.com/download/download.asp">

It said I need to download windows media, but I already have that on my computer.
The movie is on my machine, and it works fine from the desktop.

Still trying, thanks for the suggestions.

typically if youhave a video embeded in the page say a *.wav type,and if the browser has a plugin installed to view that types of videoit should automatically start..what exactly is your problem...

well you can have one that starts right away like streaming with no click needed. just use an <img> tag

<img src = c:movie.avi></img>
