I am trying to troubleshoot this code and am running into a dead-end, so I thought I would ask my first question here. I have three questions:

1) What is the best approach to embed an mp4 for an iPhone specific view, preferably without using Javascript?

2) Are there any preferred practices to debug code on an iPhone?

3) Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my specific code below? I should mention upfront that the variable $fileName does indeed contain the correct info, I've just omitted that portion of the code. Also, the poster image does flicker for a brief moment before I receive the greyed out, broken QuickTime image so that is an indication that this is partially working.


Code:

<object width="448" height="335" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
    <param name="src" value="/libraries/images/$fileName.jpg" />
    <param name="href" value="/libraries/media/$fileName.mp4" />
    <param name="target" value="myself" />
    <param name="controller" value="true" />
    <param name="autoplay" value="false" />
    <param name="scale" value="aspect" />
    <embed src="/libraries/images/$fileName.jpg" href="/libraries/media/$fileName.mp4" type="video/mp4" target="myself" width="448" height="335" scale="aspect" controller="false" autoplay="false"> </embed>
</object>
