UPDATED: How to remove object html markup using javascript in IE6 and IE7

I recently posted on this topic.

OK forget that.

It will remove the quicktime player, but the audio will stay playing. Only in IE of course.

You’ll need to use Javascript to stop the quicktime movie.

The best guide I’ve found to do this.

    These steps do not destroy QTP object in IE, it will still stay behind. I used local html file for testing. When you stop, hide and removeNode - after page reload QTP object do not play the movie at all. You see progress bar changing but there is no picture and no sound.

    Hi Sergey,

    I’ve been using this method fine for several months mow. Works perfectly.

    The problem you experiencing sounds a little different than the problem I addressed in the post above.

    After a page reload, the stop, hide, remove are undone. If the quicktime object appears with a progress bar but without picture or sound it is unlikely due to the method described above.(Works fine for us).

    Strange though. I’ve seen the problem you related occuring in a different context but not after a page reload.

    BTW by page reload, I am taking it to mean a browser refresh. Is that correct?
