Video doesn't show up on my page

I followed the same code as Nick, but I don't get the same results. I've gone over and over the HTML (only in the first step here), and don't see any difference. I'm using Firefox. Here's my code (what Nick had us type in):

First off, did you remember to save the html file before viewing it? I don't know how many times I've done that to myself. Are you using workspaces? Do you get the "Index of/" screen? You may just need to click on the simple-video.html file. Your video code looks correct.

Hi Karalyn, Yep, I remembered to save the html file before viewing it and get the "Index of/" screen. What I didn't do was click on the simple-video.html file. Whoops! This is a sign that I need more coffee STAT. Problem solved, and thanks so much for your help!
