Hoping someone here can help.

Using some code to embed a QT movie into a web page; works fine on my PC at work in both IE and Firefox as well as Firefox on my Mac at home. However, Safari simply displays the blue QT logo and does nothing more and I'm not sure why...

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="320"HEIGHT="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="http://server.domain.com/movie-h264-low.mov">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="false"><PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">
<EMBED SRC="http://server.domain.com/movie-h264-low.mov" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" AUTOPLAY="false" CONTROLLER="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
Any ideas or error that I'm overlooking?

Thanks in advance.

Never mind. Figured it out.

It looks like Safari doesn't handle dynamically changing URLs that you get when viewing content through a CDN.

For example, the url you.cachefly.net/test.mov is actuallly changed to you.server.cachefly.net/test.mov on the fly so while other browsers seem to continue to load that, Safari simply says it can't find the movie...

maybe the name of the forum should be Application Developer or there should be a note to look lower for Web Developer?
I am now going to tell the computer what he can do with a life-times supply of chocolate.
