Setting windows media object to width and height="0" shrinks player to a single pixel, not completely hidden.

Heres the code:
<OBJECT ID="Player" height="0" width="0"
     CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
      CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
      STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."
      TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">
<PARAM name="volume" value="100">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="invisible">
</OBJECT>

But for some reason it just shrinks the player down to a single white pixel. I notice it because my background is black. And I can even right click on the pixel to pull up the players context menu.

How to i completely hide the player?

Thanks in advance!

You could instead use a combination of the following params to hide the player

<PARAM name="ShowControls" value="0">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" value="0">
<PARAM name="ShowStatusBar" value="0">

I am trying to find a good reference regards these parameters for you as microsofts

You can also add the following to the OBJECT tag: style="display: none". Like this:

<OBJECT ID="Player" style="display: none" height="0" width="0"
