    an example in valid XHTML transitional for QuickTime:



    <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="240" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">;

    <param name="SRC" value="http://www.yourhost.com/path/to.mov"; />

    <param name="AUTOPLAY" value="true" />

    <param name="CONTROLLER" value="false" />

    <param name="PLUGINSPAGE" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"; />

    </object>





    The classid, codebase, and PLUGINSPACE tags are required and *must* be the same as above.

    Wow, surely someone so versed on the XHTML Transitional spec could make AppleInsider fully compliant... ;-)

    Actually, if you'll remember, I *can't* use XHTML here because Internet Explorer for Windows mangles it so horribly. Whenever I set the proper doctype, IE goes haywire and centers everything everywhere. Look through the old suggestions threads and you'll find the incident where I started cleaning up the code but had to give up because of Windows users (or rather Mac users accessing the site from Windows PCs at school or at work).



    Grrrr. Microsoft.
