great to see the site back up :P
I'm having a problem with JavaScript MIME settings. At least thats what I think it is...
This is my script:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write("<img width=352 height=240 src=\"http://username:password@ipaddress:port/cgi-bin/video.jpg?cam=1&quality=3&size=2\">");
//-->
</script>
Basically what it does is display a video from a network camera. It seems like the video.jpg file is actually a CGI script that displays JPEG images at about 30 frames per second.
In Firefox it works great and displays the images at 30fps causing it to look like a video. In Internet Explorer it doesn't however. It just displays an image box with the red X. If I try to pull up the actual JPEG file it just displays a bunch of computer jiberish.
I have talked to a friend and he says he thinks it could be a MIME setting problem. Firefox detects MIME settings automatically whereas IE doesn't. I was curious if this is the problem, and if so, how do I tell IE what MIME setting to use? Also, if its not the problem........anyone know what it is? ;)
Thanks in advance for your help! :)
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

</script>
The type attribute is used to declare the mimetype of elements. There is no need for language attributes since the mimetype already covers what language it is!
Hope this helps!
