I am trying to set the width and height of an <object> tag that is being returned through a JSON request.
 
this is what i am doing..
 
$("video").set("html", response.html);
$("video").getElement("object").setProperty("height", "385");
$("video").getElement("object").setProperty("width", "605");
 
 
Works fine in FireFox but am getting an "Object does not support this method or property" error in IE
 
Any suggestions?
 
Steve

Give this a try:

.setStyles({
  'height': 385,
  'width': 605
});

.set('styles', {
  'height': 385,
  'width': 605
});

Maybe you should take a look at the Swiff component? Or the iFrame component?

What are you trying to do? Looks like a flash player. What do you need the object tag for?

Its actually for vimeo. i am using the api to get some videos back and they return the embed code but their api wont return the embed in the size i want it.  for some reason they return the embed in proportion with the size of the actual video, not in the dimensions that i am requesting it so i am trying to resize it when i load it.

No such thing as setStyles in Moo 1.2.

Woha, it has been resurrected! Wasn't aware of that. 

I stand corrected.
