Hello,

I've got what probably amounts to a silly question, but I'm stumped. I've got a page with a quicktime .mov embedded in it. Testing the movie in IE works fine; I'm able to tab onto it and play/pause the movie with the enter key. When I try it in other browsers though (I've tried Netscape on PC and Mac as well as Safari) it is completely inaccessible via the keyboard. It's like the embedded object isn't receiving the tab focus.

Is there some code I'm missing in the quicktime embedding or is this just a cross-platform problem? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S. here's the embedding code if that will help.
