My question is similar to Handle missing QuickTime plugin with Firefox However, in my case, Firefox detects that the plugin is missing and directs me to the proper page from which to download the plugin. Internet Explorer 8, on the other hand, just displays a broken image icon (not the QuickTime symbol).

This is my code:

<embed 
starttime="00:05:22.5"
qtsrcdontusebrowser="true" 
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" 
controller="false" 
autoplay="false" 
kioskmode="true" 
autohref="true" 
href="IITM%20-%2003%20-%20Mechanical%20Events.mov" 
src="IITM%20-%2003%20-%20Mechanical%20Events.mov" 
target="quicktimeplayer"
width="384"
height="128">
</embed>

Am I missing something that IE needs? If the user has the QuickTime plugin, the video plays just fine in IE 8.

    You miss that IE is in the camp of <object> whereas Firefox is in the camp of <embed>.

    You find the IE software documented at the Vendors website: http://www.microsoft.com/ which should provide all details you might need to find out to solve that problem for you.
