NOTE:


What does this html code mean?


OBJECT CLASSID:
This code identifies the Quicktime movie as a recognizable OBJECT to Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

WIDTH and HEIGHT:
These values tell the browser the width and height of your movie in pixels and how much space to allocate to that window.

CODEBASE:
This is a URL that gives Internet Explorer necessary information about the QuickTime format

PARAM:
This is the parameter of the object which consists of a name and a value. SRC is the movie's file name and location. AUTOPLAY tells the browser whether to begin playing automatically when the movie loads (true means yes; false means no.) CONTROLLER tells the browser whether to display the QuickTime controller beneath the movie

EMBED:
This tag actually puts your movie on the web page. Just this tag alone will display your movie correctly except in the latest versions of IE.

PLUGINSPAGE:
This tells the browser where to go if the plug-in is not installed.

</EMBED> and </OBJECT>
These are the closing tags that tell the browser that the commands have ended.
