  • Quicktime loads but other content does not

    Posted by Brendan Thompson on July 14, 2006 at 2:10 am

    Hi,

    I’ve got a page w/ a quicktime poster movie embeded. When this poster is clicked the movie is swapped w/ a .mp4 video file.

    Everything works like a dream on my mac (explorer and safari) but when I hop on a PC only the movie loads and not the rest of the content. Am I missing something in my andtags? At first I received some message about ActiveX being required, I clicked OK and then the movie loaded but still not other content.

    At first I thought it might be the .mp4 file but before the .mp4 file loads the content is still not showing up.

    You can check it out at https://www.thisbandisaship.com

    Thanks for any help,

    Brendan Thompson

    In Firefox, it works fine. It seems to be an Internet Explorer specific bug.

    Indeed. Unfortunately not working on Explorer is not an option. Any ideas anybody?

    hello…

    sorry – not seeing a link here? did you have a sample? if i were to guess, it’s likely just a typo or something in your active x embed for quicktime…

    But it turns out that the Qt movie was a red herring. The real issue was ie’s incomplete implementation of CSS.

    I took out the external style sheet and everything works great.
