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.

Subject: Re: Safari, QuickTime, and JavaScript Broken?
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>

I have been racking my head over this for a week now.
I am attempting to create an embedded QuickTime audio player for
our in
house audio library. This embedded QuickTime player needs to be
accessible
through JavaScript. Everything works perfect in Internet Explorer
on Windows
and Firefox on Windows or Mac but it absolutely will not work in
Safari on
Mac.
I have tested with these browser/os versions.
IE 6.0/WinXP/Good
IE 7.0/WinXP/Good
FireFox 1.5/WinXP/Good
FireFox 1.5/Mac 10.4.7/Good
Safari 2.0/Mac 10.4.7/Broken
Below is example code for how how set up the embedded player and
then
program it. Sorry I can't provide a direct link as our in house
library is
not publicly accessible.
<code for Internet Explorer>
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab";
type="video/quicktime" width="120" height="16" id="QTPlayerObj">
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="cache" value="false">
<param name="kioskmode" value="true">
</object>
</code for IE>
<code for Firefox & Safari>
<object type="video/quicktime" data="" 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>
</code for FF & S>
<Scripting QT, all browsers>
<img src="img.gif" onClick="document.QTPlayerObj.SetURL
('mp3toplay.mp3');">
Results:
In Internet Explorer and Firefox, click on the image fires the
QuickTime
plugin - loading the mp3 file and playing it.
In Safari nothing happens. When I check the JavaScript Console I
see this
error:
"Value undefined (result of expression
document.QTPlayerObj.SetURL)
is not
object."
I really need some help on this one as nothing I have tried has
made this
work in Safari.
Charles
