    Quicktime movie will play in browers but will not play from html

    Hi all
    First time post
    I recently set up a website using x10hosting

    I noticed that IE, Firefox and Opera will play my QuickTime movie, with an extension of .qt or .mov - but these browsers will not play the clip from html code. Here is my code:

    <object width="512" height="312"
    classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B">
    <param name="src" value="ship.qt">
    <param name="autoplay" value="false">
    <param name="controller" value="true">
    <embed type="video/quicktime" src="ship.qt" width="512" height="312"
    autoplay="false" controller="true"
    pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
    </embed>
    </object>

    I'm pretty sure that the code is right - it works on my computer locally. I have the latest Quicktime and even loaded the plugins to the same folder as my clip and my html

    Any help is appreciated. TIA

    Are there any errors logged in the browsers' error consoles? Does anything show in the browser where the video should be? What versions of the browsers did you test? When asking for coding help, state what you expect to happen, what actually happens (including any error messages), and include a URL for a live test page.
    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.

    Thanks for getting back to me. I did manage to solve the problem, I just had to add:

    <param name="href" value=".htm" />

    within the object tag

    and

    href=".htm" within the embed tag

    works as it should.
