They all have another image over them which has a play button on it - this button then shows the video and starts it. In IE7 and most IE8 browsers, this works exactly as planned. However, when you open the page in either Google Chrome or Firefox (I used 3.5.7), the videos automatically start to play - they are still not visible but you hear the soundtrack. Has anyone else come acroiss this issue? many thanks, Andy
