Does anyone know why the quicktime web badge, downloaded from apple's
site,
is not recognized by all browsers. For example, when I view my page
with AOL
I can see it, but when i view it with IE I just see my alt="get
quicktime"
text. This isn't true for all instances of IE on all computers. It
seems
kinda random.
The image is a gif, I can't open it in a photo editing program (for
security
reasons I suppose), it's included in my html with an img src tag,
and it
links to the quicktime download site.
There are no security restrictions on GIFs, so I don't think it's a
GIF. Far more likely that it's an actual Quicktime mov, renamed .gif
somewhere along the lines, with an embedded link back to the QT site.
It's likely IE is just refusing to display it since it's not a valid
image file. It's probably also not viewable on ANY browser on machines
without QT already installed (which defeats the point of the badge!).
Do you wrap a link (<a href...></a>) tag around the IMG tag to provide
a link? If not, and it still links, it's definitely not a GIF, and most
likely a Quicktime .mov
