Working with ActiveX Components-
Internet Explorer Conditional Comments - Writing code for IE & non-IE Browsers

Hello,

This code is displaying just fine in IE 8, Opera 9.64 & Maxthon 2.5.1

(A QuickTime Player control followed by text.)

In Safari 4.0(530.17) the QuickTime player appears but NO TEXT appears

In Firefox 3.0.11 the text appears but NO QUICKTIME PLAYER appears(only a QuickTime placeholder icon)

Could someone please describe what is actually happening and what modifications need to be performed on the code to make BOTH the text and QuickTime player appear?

Thank you.

<p>The music for <i>Royal Wedding</i> was composed by Burton Lane,
who is best known for his work in <i>Finian's Rainbow </i>(1947)
and his Grammy Award-winning <i>On a Clear Day You Can See
Forever </i>(1965). Lane's greatest musical accomplishment may
very well be his discovery of an 11-year-old singing phenom named
Frances Gumm, whom the world now knows better as Judy Garland.</p>

Also... on the Safari browser, the audio clip plays immediately upon loading.
