Link to YouTube movie causes "Unknown runtime error" in IE6 and IE8 when inside a <P> block
The following HTML triggers an "Unknown runtime error" in at least IE6 and IE8. It works fine in FF3.5 and Chrome4.
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://malsup.github.com/chili-1.7.pack.js"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://malsup.com/jquery/jquery.metadata.v2.js"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://github.com/malsup/media/raw/master/jquery.media.js?v0.92"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://malsup.com/jquery/media/swfobject.js"> <script type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$('a.media').media();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<P>Free text <A class="media {width:480, height:380, type:'swf'}" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/6MJCvHMtwE4" target=_blank>Palin video</A></P>
</body>
</html>
When I remove the <P> </P> tags around the link, everything works fine.
**DAMN: This site does not correctly handle postings that contain tags... hope you can read the posting anyway. If not, mail me, I'll send you the HTML by email.
