Thread-topic: Safari, QuickTime, and JavaScript Broken?
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.5.060620
Addendum:
I think I discovered something. Because of a problem I encountered
previously I had removed the "QuickTime Plugin.webplugin" from the
"Library/Internet Plug-ins" folder. As a test I just added it back and the
error messages went away, it still doesn't play. This tells me the problem
is connected with this plug-in. I removed this plug-in previously because
with it in place no QuickTime would play in Safari, I would just get the
ghosted blue QuickTime logo with the question mark.
