Object tag problem

Post by MrBech »

Hello all!
I have this problem with the object tag module thing Iam trying to use. I want to display a Quicktime movie (.mov) and were looking around and found the object tag module. Ive manage to display .swf files but it semes to be a problem when I try to display a quciktime movie

Iam using the following tag

{object type='qt' src='uploads/ucusgfx/flash/gainomaxmovie.mov' height='365' width='300' param='controller::true||autoplay::false' alt='Bill Gates crashing Windows 98'}

And I get the funny message "Bill gates bla bla bla"  :)..

Its a option to use .flv files for this purpose also (.swf is not an option in this case cuz the files is being way to large to load).

Here is the URL to the site: http://www.ucus.se/index.php?page=referenser-produktion

Thanks all for making a good forum!

It looks the oubject tag is supposed to output source code compliant with W3C XHTML. However, somewhere in your page you are adding  a bunch of Teletype tags into the source that should not be there.

Code: Select all

ucusgfx/flash/gainomaxmovie.mov" width="300" height="365"> 
 
Bill Gates crashing Windows 98

Code: Select all
