157156 - Object element specifying QuickTime video does not reflect the specified width within the element if the width or height is different than the actual size of the clip

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[rubydoo123]

Using test #6 and #7, the object element is coded as:

#6
<object data="filename" type="MIME type" width=320 height=120>
  alternative text
</object>

#7
<object data="filename" type="MIME type" width=120 height=240>
  alternative text
</object>

The actual clip size is: width 160 and height 120

When viewing test #6, the width is not stretched to 320, when viewing test #7,
the height is not stretched to 240

Actually test #7 does pass, the issue here is #6

Marking WFM. This plugin is taking up the correct width. You can verify this by
trying the context menu. Notice you get the QT context menu for the full 320
width but QT chooses not to draw in piece of it. Also, the following testcase
using Flash works as expected so this problem is limited to Quicktime.

Peter, help me understand this -- do you mean that the QT application overrides
the specified value set in the object element? That doesn't seem right somehow,
shouldn't the parameters being passed be processed? Is this something that we
should be talking to QT about?

Yes, QT is not obeying the specified values of the object element in this case.
It wouldn't hurt to talk to Apple about this problem but I could imagine that
this is desired behavior in that the plugin detected a streched movie would be
unviewable and overrode the size.
