[patch] [cla] dojox.embed.QuickTime is slow to load

[cb1kenobi]

When using dojox.embed.QuickTime? in a build, it is initialized on each page load. During initialization, it downloads a QuickTime? mov file for the purpose of testing the QuickTime? plugin version.

Turns out this is not necessary. Simply adding the <embed> tag with an empty "src" will allow access to the QuickTime? version. An empty "src" doesn't throw any JavaScript? errors or 404s, and appears to work just fine in FF3(mac/win), Opera9(mac/win), IE7, Safari 3(mac/win), Chrome v1 (win), and Stainless 0.6 (mac).

The v2 patch cleaned up dojox.embed.Quicktime by consolidating variable declarations, shifting some code around, removing some of the old hacky stuff and add new hacky stuff.

Works now in IE6, IE7, IE8, Safari 3.2 (win), Safari 4 (mac), Chrome 2 (win), Opera 9.64 (win/mac), Opera 10b1 (win), FF2 (win), FF3 (linux, mac, win), Stainless 0.6 (mac).

It does not support Opera 8.54 (win) and I assume all versions of Opera prior to v9 do not work either.

(In [18480]) Fixed performance issues with dojox.embed.Quicktime. Removed the need to download a test version.mov file to determine the installed QuickTime? version. I also updated the code to be a bit tighter and use some of the new Dojo 1.3 goodies. I cleaned up the test file so it is more verbose about whether QuickTime? is available and supported.

(In [18768]) Applying changes that fix speed issues with dojox.embed.Quicktime due to a test movie being loaded on page load. Updated the code to use new Dojo 1.3 functionality. Made version testing embed tag offscreen so prevent it from being visible.
