Bloody Hell, Windows Internet Explorer

I apologise to everyone whose RSS feeds are now spammed up with a hundred edits of that last post.
When I was writing the code to embed the video, I remembered when I uploaded “I’m Gonna Eat Your Soul” and I’d forgotten to turn off auto-play. I didn’t mind so much, but a couple of people chuckled at the unexpected expletives. So I decided this time, to write the embedding code properly.
First, I tried Apple’s “Doing It The Easy Way” approach, which worked fine in a test page but not in WordPress.
Then I tried the good ol’ EMBED tag by itself, which failed totally in Internet Explorer 7.
So in the end, I followed Apple’s more hands-on guide and used:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="376" width="480">
<param name=”src” value=”/movies/jurassic_alan.mov”>
<param name=”autoplay” value=”false”>
<embed src=”/movies/jurassic_alan.mov” height=”376″ width=”480″ type=”video/quicktime” autoplay=”false” pluginspage=”http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/” />
