I've been using the Javascript method for serving up QT files on my
site (as suggested when Exporting to Web) which works fine.

Lately I've been trying to get iui to work with a special iphone
version of my site and everything works great - except these videos.
Nothing shows up.

Is there something special I should do, or can someone point me to an
embed code I should use?

Thanks!

Do your non-iUI pages with QT work on the iPhone?

You don't get any kind of displayed rectangle for the QT movie? Do the
pages work in Safari 4.0? (set user agent to iPhone if necessary)

Do you have a link to an example?

Plenty of folks have created links to video with iUI but since iPhone
video tags are a little different than the desktop ones, and do not
support IE, most that I've seen don't use the Javascript method (IIRC)

Yes non iui pages work great from within iphone. I"ll have to try
Safari 4.0 at home.

I don't mind not using the javascript method (especially since I know
that its an iPhone looking for a video and I can give them the right
one), i'm just not sure what kind of embed code I should use.

http:storyfanatic.com/iphone is the iui part of the site (clicking
the first link at the top should have a video in the middle).

The same link on an iphone:

http://storyfanatic.com/articles/story-structure/writing-the-personal-triumph/

has the video in it (same javascript code).

Thanks for your help
