I'm trying to change the QT HTML code on my company's web site so it is IE6 Active X friendly.

As discussed on the apple page: http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/compatibility.html

I have substituted this code:

<embed src="video/20_Year_View_Highband.mov" width="320" height="256" autoplay="true" loop="false" controller="true" playeveryframe="false" cache="false" bgcolor="#000000" kioskmode="false" targetcache="false" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">
</embed>


with this:


<!-- new IE 6 / Active X QT code added: 9/18 -->

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="320"
HEIGHT="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="video/20_Year_View_Highband.mov">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">
<EMBED SRC="sample.mov" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" AUTOPLAY="true"
CONTROLLER="true"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

<!-- end new IE 6 / Active X QT code -->


but its not working. On my mac IE 5 I see nothing and mac NN4 shows a broken plugin.

Apple says after this change should "result in web pages compatible with Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers on both Mac and Windows systems" however I wonder how does a NN4 nad Ie 5 (w/ ActiveX turned off(default) interperate the OBJECT tag?

Little help..

It would seem the best thing is to browser sniff and do a document.write JavaScript to put the correct code into the page.
I'm way rusty, so don't ask me how to do it.
