Perhaps you want to process the rest of that sentence (and trim your quotes to the relevant minimum, thereby not following David's bad example).

Using Apples AC_QuickTime.js to dynamically add a QT movie to the page does result in the controller appearing (if you set the attribute appropriately). When I try using AC_QuickTime.js's QT_ReplaceElementContents function to add the movie to a DIV the controller doesn't appear. The former uses document.writeln while the latter innerHTML. I can only conclude that the controller won't display in IE if you use innerHTML to add the movie to the page. Andrew Poulos

It is not a bug, it is an intentional functionality break out because of very "special" relations of Apple and Microsoft. Yes, on the big screen they are friends now, but inside it is pretty much the same as it was. After playing a bit more you'll discover another "go to hell" gift: in IE scripting interface of QT is silently locked, either with enablejavascript=yes or not. This is why the world so happily and quickly migrated on Flash players, and now will do the same for HTML5 media extensions. Over years everyone got sick tired of those "cats-and-dogs" games between RealPlayer, QuickTime and WMP.

I forgot to mention that if you insert WMP plugin into IE then of course the scripting will be happily open for you but .mov movies will not play. So either of two options: 1) do what they wanted you to do: use QT for all, use WMP for IE, have media in both formats, serve either one to conditionally inserted plugin. 2) show your finger to all of them and use a Flash player 3) really 'd like to know another option myself - HTML5 extensions just not enough here yet.

Conspiracy theories aside, you have a very unusual definition of the word "bug". As long as Microsoft is the responsible party, you prefer to use euphemisms like "differences" or "intentional functionality break[s]". I see a great career in politics or marketing :) George Carlin would have a field day with this, if he was a developer (and still alive). -- stefan |
