a memo
Apple updated their QuickTime site at some point, and now I can't find their "Embedding QuickTime" reference. Or at least, I can't find the page they used to have, which told you the proper < object > incantation for the QuickTime player in MSIE. Thanks Apple, love ya.
Their Embedding QuickTime toutorial is out of date, and there is the merest hint that you might need to wrap your (W3C-deprecated) embed tags in an object tag, but without providing the syntax.
Here's a nice reference to replace it.
Oh, and here is Apple's Embedding QuickTime for the Web (circa 2004), and here is the QuickTime ActiveX Plugin "Important Information for End Users" document it links to.
The QuckTime site is woefully thin on webmaster resources. I'm working on an page dumping what I know from 7 years working with their excellent, but poorly documented, plugin. Stay tuned (or ask me for it).
