howto hide QuickTime object?

[Encapsulin]

Hello everybody,
is it possible to hide qtvr <object...> (or even change its size to 1
pixel rectangle)?
I need to hide qtvr from the page dynamically, if .mov source is empty.

For example:

<script language="javas cript">
function _hide_(){ ??? }

function showfile(filena me){
if(filename == "")
_hide_();
else
document.getEle mentById("qtvr" ).SetURL(filena me);
}
</script>
<OBJECT
classid="clsid: 02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"

codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
width="180" height="160"
id="qtvr" >
<PARAM name="src" value="">
</OBJECT>
<br><a href="javascrip t:showfile('sam ple1.mov');">sa mple1</a>
<br><a href="javascrip t:showfile(''); ">hide qtvr</a>

Is it possible? How should _hide_() function looks like?
Many thanks.

// Hide the movie
function hide(){
document.getEle mentById("qtvr" ).style.display = 'none';
}

// Show the movie
function show(){
document.getEle mentById("qtvr" ).style.display = '';
}

The language attribute is deprecated since the current HTML version (4.01),

This will not work with any other QuickTime-capable plugin than
the QuickTime plugin on Microsoft Windows systems with enabled
ActiveX/COM support,
<br><a href="javascrip t:showfile('sam ple1.mov');">sa mple1</a>

although the resource name indicates that it is not required. And
you have still not read the FAQ, hence the ongoing misuse of the
`javascript:' pseudo-protocol.

In some reason Mozilla crashed with the following code (but IE is ok):

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function showmov(filenam e)
{
if(filename == "")
{
document.movie. style.display = 'none';
}
else
{
document.movie. style.display = '';
document.movie. SetURL(filename );
}
document.getEle mentById('repor t').innerHTML =
"["+document.movi e.style.display +"] ["+document.movi e.GetURL()+']';
}
</SCRIPT>

<br><a href="javascrip t:showmov('samp le1.pano');">sa mple1</a>
<br><a href="javascrip t:showmov('samp le2.pano');">sa mple2</a>
<br><a href="javascrip t:showmov('');" >hide</a>

Apparently you are unable to read and comprehend. I will no longer
waste my time with you, and I suggest that nobody else does: PLONK

Now you know how you appear to other people as you display those same
traits.
I will no longer waste my time with you

And anybody else's time?
