[jQuery] Media Plugin (malsup site) "REPLACE" code uses OLD metadata.js - ALSO: nothing works in IE6/IE7
I am using the REPLACE code successfully (though ONLY in FF and Opera
- IEs not doing ANYTHING)
I found I HAD to use the metadata.js code FROM the page link/demo
below as the newer version of metadata.js is quite different and does
not work with the CODE example below the link (see below)
I have two issues:
ONE: that the code below does NOT work with the latest version of
metadata.js
TWO: my working page does absolutely noting in IE7 and IE7. I am
hoping this is due to the metadata older version, as I'd read about
problems with the older metadata.js.
SO..... I need to find out what to change in the code examnple below
(that I got from the ink below:
THEN I'm hoping that my pages will work in IE6 and IE7.
Please help me if possible. Many thanks!

---------- REAPLCE code from link page above)
$(function() {
$('a.media').click(function() {
// get media options from the markup using metadata plugin
var opts = $(this).data();
opts.src = this.href;
setTimeout(function() { playMedia(opts); }, 50);
return false;
});
});
function playMedia(opts) {
// stop the current media
$('object,embed', '#player').each(function() {
try { this.Stop(); } catch(e) {} // quicktime
try { this.controls.stop(); } catch(e) {} // windows media
player
$(this).hide().remove();
});
// start the new media using opts arg
$('#player').empty().media(opts);
}
