Hello,

Does anyone know if Microsoft has, once again, changed the rules for using QuickTime movies on a web page? A few years ago we were all told to use Javascript to write QT movies into web pages in order to avoid a dialog box. I have done so, but now, even QT movies written into a web page via javascript generate an Active X dialog box upon loading when using IE under Windows. Did I miss the memo?

An example can be found at: http://music.muc.edu/edrills/ . There is a hidden movie which I included on the page to test QT for Windows users.

Hi there! I think you have to make it an "external" javascript, and only call the handler within the page:

(Scroll down to comments - 2nd one.)
Can confirm that my website videos, using an external js and dynamically passing the filename and settings for size, controller, etc. still work, but your internal script doesn't. (Win XP, IE 6.0.2900........)
