Quicktime movies in IE
Saturday, February 11, 2006 by liquidguru | Discussion: Websites
i have a website, and have pages that show quicktime movies i created.. i only noticed this problem because two seperate friends using IE told me they got bored looking at the same video...i always use firefox so never knew there was a problem...
you can select from one page any one of six different movies, and then you are taken to the next page to watch the movie.
everything works fine when viewing with Firefox, i can watch whatever movie i want
when viewing with IE only one video ever plays and it's the same one every time, no matter which one you choose
i cannot undertand what i have done...it's just a link
Link to Page : Link
i would appreciate any advise or help anyone could give me
thank you

lines 106 to 116 for the 2nd video page:
object id ="QuickTimePlayer"

/object
(i removed the < > s )
i'm presuming each of your video pages has this link at about line 110:
param name="SRC" value="../video/kajdom.mov"
the src value(in this case) kajdom.mov should be the name of the file you intend to be seen (for example, attrip.mov) so it agrees with the embed src value, no?
