Thread-topic: Safari, QuickTime, and JavaScript Broken?
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.5.060620
Thanks Francis, but your suggested modifications don't work either. In both
cases I still receive the same JavaScript Console error message and nothing
loads into the QuickTime plug-in.
To re-iterate the error message is: "Value undefined (result of expression
document.QTPlayerObj.SetURL) is not object." To me this means that Safari is
not communicating with QuickTime. Because it doesn't know that an instance
of QuickTime has been established it won't communicate with it.
The exact Safari version is 2.0.4. The exact QuickTime version is 7.1.3.
As an aside the <embed> method is a deprecated method for embedding (and yes
I did test your suggested <embed> method). <object> is the proper way to
embed applications/plug-ins in a web page. I know just about every document
on the planet still describes the <embed> method but it is only needed for
old browser support. The <object> method is supported in current releases of
IE, FF, Opera, Safari, etc. In my (somewhat) controlled environment I don't
need to support old browsers. I just need the current browsers to work.

Charles,
Here is a working and better code :
<object type="video/quicktime" width="120" height="16"
id="QTPlayerObj" name="QTPlayerObj"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab";>
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="cache" value="false" />
<param name="kioskmode" value="true" />
<param name="enableJavaScript" value="true" />
</object>
a more better could be :
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
width="120" height="32" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/
qtplugin.cab" id="QTPlayerObj">
<param name="src" value="stamp.gif">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="cache" value="false">
<param name="kioskmode" value="true">
<embed
src="stamp.gif"
width="120" height="32"
controller="false"
autoplay="true"
cache="false"
kioskmode="true"
enablejavascript="true"
name="QTPlayerObj"
type="video/quicktime"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/";>
</embed>
</object>
