Description Ralf Sternberg CLA 2010-06-19 14:51:01 EDT 
Tested with XP, IE 7. This browser can't display any videos on YouTube or vimeo, obviously because the latest Flash is missing. However, on our project page, there not even a sign that there is some displayable content, just a big white area :(
Comment 1 Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2010-06-19 15:41:15 EDT 
The same applies to IE 8
Comment 2 Tim Buschtoens CLA 2010-06-21 05:31:39 EDT 
Try this:

<object width="600" height="375">
    <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
	<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
	<param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12665551&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1" />
	<object data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12665551&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1" 
		type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
		allowfullscreen="true"	allowscriptaccess="always" 
		width="600" height="375" >
	<p> NO PLUGIN TEXT </p>
    </object>
</object>
Comment 3 Tim Buschtoens CLA 2010-06-21 06:24:20 EDT 
Apparently my code works in IE8, but not IE7.
Comment 4 Tim Buschtoens CLA 2010-06-21 06:51:22 EDT 
Next try: This should manage to render the "NO PLUGIN TEXT" in all version of IE.

<object width="600" height="375">
    <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
    <param name="movie"
value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12665551&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1"
/>
	<!--[if !IE]>-->
    <object
data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12665551&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1" 
        type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
        allowfullscreen="true"    allowscriptaccess="always" 
        width="600" height="375" >
	<!--<![endif]-->
    <p> NO PLUGIN TEXT </p>
	 <!--[if !IE]>-->
    </object>
	<!--<![endif]-->
</object>

IE6 has bigger issues however, with the main content not being displayed at all. (Has nothing to do with the flash stuff.)
Comment 5 Holger Staudacher CLA 2010-06-21 09:22:42 EDT 
Fixed and committed to CVS HEAD.
