OK gang I am having an issue here. Take a look at this page. I am trying to get the quicktime to output correctly from the QT Pro page that says the following:

This goes in the head doc

<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/ac_quicktime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/qtp_library.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/stylesheets/qtp_library.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />

This goes in the body:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

'scale', 'aspect');
//-->

You can read it all here, here.

I have done so. I also added in the page documents so I can have it following the template. Here is the code from the page.

I also notice it does not validate either. What is going on?

The embed element isn't in XHTML.

Edit: And that document probably needs an XML declaration to be conformant in all contexts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

OK I made some changes to things, check out http://www.dirtpit.tv/quicktime.html and see what you think. Also, I was told by godaddy.com that the file extension I needed was not turned on and also that being on a windows server did not help either so I am now on Linux and extension is all good. So in all it should work.

Also, I need people with an iphone and others to test the URL out to see if it picks the right file for you to view. I just wish I could get rid of the jave script error that I see come up. I think for the most part I fixed the validation part.
