Using QuickTime on the Web

Prev | Next | HTML Basics
print:

With the release of Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 and later, you web authors should use an <OBJECT> tag in addition to the <EMBED> tag for your web pages to be compatible with both Netscape and Internet Explorer on Mac and Windows systems.

For example, to use a QuickTime movie called sample.mov in a web page, the following code wouldd be inserted into the HTML code where the sample.mov should appear.

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="320"HEIGHT="240"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="sample.mov">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="false">
<EMBED SRC="sample.mov" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" AUTOPLAY="true" CONTROLLER="false" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
< /EMBED>
< /OBJECT>

CLASSID must always equal: clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B
CODEBASE must always equal: http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab
PLUGINSPAGE must always equal: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

The other attributes should be customized to your web page. You need to substitute "sample.mov" (in both SRC attribute elements) with the URL of the actual movie to be played. You should also change the HEIGHT and WIDTH parameters to match the height and width of the movie (in pixels).

Check now to see if QuickTime is properly installed on your computer.
