Trying to figure out the best code for embedding quicktime on a page. I have tried the 'AC_RunActiveContent.js' method, but it seems to not work in IE 6? Conversely a straight <embed> seems to work in IE 6 just fine. Thoughts?

Here's the ActiveX workaround method code I have now...
.........
<head>
<script src="Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
........

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_AX_RunContent( 'width','320','height','256','src','video/dttd-top-of-the-world-60.mov' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object width="320" height="256">
<embed src="video/dttd-top-of-the-world-60.mov" width="320" height="256"></embed>
</object>
</noscript>
</body>
 
Thanks -

that article doesn't seem to be too sure of itself (at least the quicktime one). It also doesn't address ActiveX as far as I can tell.

So... worst case scenario for using the old school <object><embed></embed></object> method would be what, that the user would just have to click on it to get it to run? I can live with that for now. It's a temp page but I need the users to be able to see it above all, activeX be damned.
