Quick Time and XHMTL

Ok I'm impressed , the whole idea of roaming the web, and finding other peoples code and grabbing it for your own project seemed a bit strange to me. However for my project I neeed to understand how to embed Quicktime movies into a page. So I google "XHMTL Quick time" and within ten minutes I have the code I need and have a working test page playing the video. While I don't claim to fully understand all the code involved a can follow most of it. I need to read more on how object classes function.
If anyone else is interested the code can be found at:
