Re: [#1063] APPLET alt text and alternative content

[Roberto Scano wrote:]
What about this use of object instead embed?

Also I'm testing similar solutions for applet - for convert them with
object element.

Becky asks:
I can use the object tag to include  an applet in IE, Mozilla/Firefox, and 
Opera.  Have you found an object tag that will work in both browsers with 
Quicktime?
I can create an object tag that works in IE or works in Mozilla/Firefox 
but I can't compose an object that works in both without using embed.
This solution works in IE, Mozilla/Firefox and Opera:
<object 
data="http://www.student.oulu.fi/%7esairwas/object-test/video/test.mov" 
type="video/quicktime" width="160" height="120" 
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" >
<param name="src" 
value="http://www.student.oulu.fi/%7esairwas/object-test/video/test.mov" >
<embed 
src="http://www.student.oulu.fi/%7esairwas/object-test/video/test.mov" 
type="video/quicktime" width="160" height="120" alt ="Short Video of 
goldfish swimming"> </embed></object> 

Also, just the embed portion will work in both IE and Mozilla (I didn't 
test in Opera).  I'm definitely not a multimedia expert so any 
improvements/suggestions welcomed!
