Also automatic download link generation should be added to this script. People want to download videos and they have every legal right to do so. If there is no important business reasons, make sure that there is download link. It's quite common question in 'newbie' forums how to download embedded videos.

Is there a simple way of rectifying this? I'm just using the standard parameters in the advanced script supplied on this site. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I'm coding a page that has upwards of 20 linked .mov files along the navpanel. From these links I would like to embed the quicktime movie in a main content div. The key here being to embed those movies using onclick on the links - without reloading the page. I've looked at various ways to do this. I can successfully pass parameters and get the script to write my embed tag, but what I face is an inability to pass the script and execute it using innerHtml. I'm looking at using the DOM and createElement, which I'm willing to do, it just defeats the purpose of this lovely script that does all my work for me, and I still fear won't execute the script without onload. This may be a bit off topic given it's more of a javascript question - but I've searched high and low for this kind of info on the AJAX pages for executing scripts but all of them seem to require execution at the pages onload, or onclick. I believe this is what "Comment by Todd — August 4, 2005 @ 8:41 am" was trying to achieve, but it doesn't look like he pulled it off in looking at the popup solution he has currently. Thanks!

I can get panos to work full-size but not full-screen. This is the setting I've been using: var myQTObject = new QTObject("vp1.mov", "vp1", "100%", "100%"); myQTObject.addParam("autostart", "false"); myQTObject.write(); It produces a pano at its full-size (in this case 1048 x 768) but on a large monitor it gives a white border rather than expanding to fill the screen. I've tried adding the usual 'full-screen' javascript in the header but that has no effect. Tested on Safari & explorer mac, explorer win ok, but behaves poorly on firefox (letterbox effect on both mac & win) Suggestions welcome! Hello
