276973 - umaryland.edu - <object> and/or <embed> tags do not work properly

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[bryan hantman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

On "http://nursing.umaryland.edu/de/Orientation.htm", the embedded object for
streaming Real Media does not function properly.  Instead of showing up as it
does other browsers the console does not even appear.  In this case,
"http://media.umaryland.edu:554/ramgen/Orientation/nola3.rm"
type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" autostart="true">" appears instead of the
object itself -- making Mozilla an inappropriate browser for our multimedia uses.  

On another page, "http://nursing.umaryland.edu/de/students.htm", the four
objects appear and disappear depending on how the browser window is resized and
if the mouse rolls over the objects.  These objects are also streaming media
consoles.  The "right click" that should allow user to "Play" the streaming
video is hidden.  

Unfortuneatly, neither example works in Firefox 1.0 and Netscape 7.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just go to each page and see for yourself
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.  Cannot play media.

Expected Results:  
Played media.  If you open these pages in another browser (e.g., IE6) you will
see how they should function properly.

The markup is bogus (http://nursing.umaryland.edu/de/Orientation.htm):

<embed height="180" width="240" controls="ImageWindow" src="%3ca%20href="
http://media.umaryland.edu:554/ramgen/Orientation/nola3.rm">http://media.umaryland.edu:554/ramgen/Orientation/nola3.rm</a>&quot;

type=&quot;audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin&quot; autostart=&quot;true&quot;&gt;

      </object>

The markup at the other URL looks correct, but it seems the site is not
responding (at least not from where I'm sitting). Example link:
http://media.umaryland.edu:8080/ramgen/projects/students/shari.rm

Looks like an evang issue...

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
