Working with ActiveX Components-
Internet Explorer Conditional Comments - Writing code for IE & non-IE Browsers
Hello,
1) This code is displaying just fine in
IE 8,
Opera 9.64 &
Maxthon 2.5.1
(A QuickTime Player control followed by text.)
2) In
Safari 4.0(530.17) the QuickTime player appears but NO TEXT appears... also Safari causes the audio to autoplay upon loading(that should not be happening)
3) In
Firefox 3.0.11 the text appears but NO QUICKTIME PLAYER appears(only a QuickTime placeholder icon)
Could someone please describe what is actually happening and what modifications need to be performed on the code to make BOTH the text and QuickTime player appear?
Thank you.
Code:
<div class="boxContent">
<h2>Listen Up</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">
<!--[if IE]><!-->
<object data="overture.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="httpCOLON//wwwDOTappleDOTcom/qtactivex/qtpluginDOTcab"

<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<object data="overture.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"
width="280" height="25">
<!--<![endif]-->
<param name="src" value="overture.mp3" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="showcontrols" value="true" />
</object>

<p>The music for <i>Royal Wedding</i> was composed by Burton Lane,
who is best known for his work in <i>Finian's Rainbow </i>(1947)
and his Grammy Award-winning <i>On a Clear Day You Can See
Forever </i>(1965). Lane's greatest musical accomplishment may
very well be his discovery of an 11-year-old singing phenom named
Frances Gumm, whom the world now knows better as Judy Garland.</p>
