QuickTime allows web programmers to embed a wide variety of digital media directly into web pages. Multiple QuickTime movies can be embedded on a single page to allow for great interactivity and unique multimedia experiences.
Apple Computer now recommends using JavaScript to embed all QuickTime content. This addresses a recent change in the way Internet Explorer on Windows now handles ActiveX controls. Using JavaScript ensures that visitors to your site have a trouble-free experience using QuickTime content. Dr. Estrella has developed a small Flash application to help MakePages.com members generate the appropriate code to embed a QuickTime movie. Members can access it here. To use this generator you will also need the QuickTime External JavaScript file - right-click (Control-click on Mac) to download. Place it in whatever folder you use to store your external javascript files (ex. ../javascript/AC_QuickTime.js);
