Author Link problem on a PC

QuickTime movie cannot be viewed PC browser

In Dreamweaver I uploaded two short QT movies to my website
(http://www.mosheart.com/movie/index.html). I created a links to each movie. On
a mac computer one can view each of the movies just fine but on a PC computer
only one of the movies can be viewed. Wether you click on movie #1 or on movie
#2 a viewer on a PC will only see movie #1.

I will appreciate any advise that will help fix the problem.

Thank you - Moshe

Actually, the problem is IE, not PC. It's because you have this in your
code:

<param name="src" value="U9forWebBach.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<embed src="U10s.mov"

Note that the <param> for the src attribute is set to U9forWebBach.mov,
but the <embed> src is for U10s.mov.

Thank you very much. With your help I fixed the problem.

It is interesting though that in-spite of the incorrect <param> it was still
playing correctly on mac computers.

Again thanks - ME

Some browsers use the <object> tag and its <param> elements. Other
browsers use the <embed> tag, although there is a way to get them both
to use <object>. The point was that the browsers using <embed> were
showing a different movie than the ones using <object>.

You're welcome. Glad you got it sorted.
