Unable to Embed Quicktime ActiveX in HTML (PHP vBulletin v3.5.3)

Quicktime Plug-in refuses to work!!

Code:
_______________________________________
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0" height="60" width="400"> <embed WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="60" CONTROLLER="TRUE" TARGET="myself" SRC="{param}" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></EMBED></object>
________________________________________
Otherwise it wont show up in IE6 or Firefox

Thing is its not connecting to the file
Via SRC="{param}">

{param} is what vBulletin v3.5.3 uses to Enter a URL into the code




Windows XP AMD 64 FX-55

Your code fails to contain a "src=" param tag in the object tag. It is the only tag read by a PC (the embed tag is ignored on a PC). You also need it for the embed tag for Mac users.
You can also remove the "#version=6,0,2,0" part from the codebase tag.
An example:
Code:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="200"height="190"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="SRC" value="http://homepage.mac.com/username/filename.mov">
<param name="AUTOPLAY" value="true">
<param name="CONTROLLER" value="false">
<embed src="http://homepage.mac.com/username/filename.mov"
autoplay="true"
controller="false"
WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="190"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
</embed>
</object>
Without a source tag the software doesn't know where to look for the file. Use a complete URL for accuracy.
