Tend to this first if you need to, as we use JavaScript below to check for the ability to play QuickTime.

The movies on the site are in QuickTime format. The current version of the free QuickTime player can be downloaded from Apple at www.apple.com. Quicktime (*.mov) files can also be played by the current version of RealPlayer, which can be downloaded at real.com.

Key requirements ok, but clicking movie icons next to a skier's name doesn't do anything.

This site doesn't work on some older browsers when run off of the CD. The documentation I read seems to indicate that it would work OK if the site was on a web server. Technically, each movie link contains information in the URL search string that identifies the skier, which images to show, and where those images reside. Example:

skiers.html?dt=2005-02-12&fname=313&skier=Nick%20Sever%20-%20February%2012,%202005

This works fine on a web server (where URLs begin with http://) but not in all cases from a file system (URL starts with file:///). If the movies and graphics don't display for you, try a different browser on your machine or, if possible, upgrade to the current version of your browser.
