Thread-topic: Safari, QuickTime, and JavaScript Broken?
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.5.060620
Francis,
I am completely lost now.
I went to your page in both Safari and Firefox. Worked perfectly. Copied
your page, in exactness, to my server went to it with Safari and Firefox -
won't work in Safari. In Safari I get the ghostly blue QuickTime icon with
the question mark. The page works right loaded from your server though.
