Web standards compliant Javascript Quicktime detect and embed

Embedding QuickTime movies in websites presents many of the same problems as embedding Flash. Since QuickTime relies on a third party plugin, your users will need to have this plugin installed before they can view your content. If they don’t have the plugin, they will be greeted by either an AcitveX install window (Internet Explorer) or an ugly ‘broken plugin’ image on other browsers. I prefer using Javascript to detect the presence of plugins because it gives you more control over what your users see when they visit your site.
