Quicktime Movies will not play in modal windows in IE8 #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On IE8, Quicktime movies will not play in the modal window. (They play
fine in Firefox. Also, Flash movies play fine, just not .mov files.)
2. To see an example, click on this link and click on the image of the
woman in the phone.

3. Apple has a javascript function to replace the usual embed code, but
doing so makes the modal window no longer function. The user gets a popup
window instead.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see the Quicktime logo with a grayed out questionnmark.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Internet Explorer 8, latest version of modalbox-plugin.

Please provide any additional information below.
Here is the code:
<a class="openmodalbox" href="javascript:void(0);">
    <img src="../images/exhibit/section1/beulah_sm.jpg" alt="The Beulah
Show, 1952" width="145" height="130" />
    <span class="modalboxContent">
       <div id="detail">
       <object width="500" height="390"

       <div class="imgcredit"><em>The Beulah Show</em>, 1952</div>The first
nationally broadcast series to feature an African American actor in a
leading role—Ethel Waters in its first two seasons and Hattie McDaniel and
Louise Beavers in its third season—<em>The Beulah Show</em> focused on the
whimsical antics of a housekeeper who worked for a prosperous white family.
Civil rights leaders denounced the half-hour situation comedy for its
demeaning portrayal of African Americans.</div>

I don't know why the ".mov" Files are not playing. Flash Movies works fine. 
Can't fix it. Sry.
