I'm trying to embed a QuickTime movie, using the <object> and <param> tags. I can't use the <embed> tag, as the site I'm building conforms to XHTML Strict.

I've tried the following code, but nothing appears in the browser.

...
<body>

<object type="video/quicktime" width="320" height="256">
<param name="src" value="product.mov" />
<param name="cache" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
</object>

</body>
...

I would really appreciate any help you could provide.

Cheers.

Have you checked it in both IE and NS? Does it work in one and not the other?

I've tested it in the following browsers (all on the Mac).

Internet Explorer 5.1
Mozilla 0.9.7
Netscape 6
Opera 5

None of them display the video. =(

<object type="video/quicktime" data="yourMovie.mov" width="360" height="256"> <!-- Pay attention for the extra 16 pixels for the controller! -->
<img src="yourPic.jpg" width="360" height="286" alt="QuickTime required" />
<param name="src" value="yourMovie.mov" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
</object>

This code works except for the image tag (if the QuickTime plugin shouldn't be installed). Anyone any suggestions? I know it works with Flash movies.
