Did you find any problems in Safari's support for the OBJECT element for images? I don't recall you mentioning any. The problems with audio/video are a bug in the quicktime plugin - I hope that can be fixed soon but in the meantime you can duplicate the data attribute in a <param name="src"> to work around it. In any case they would not affect the use of OBJECT for images. Regards, Maciej
