When viewing 360 degree images that use quicktime, I obtain expected results (example: http://www.panoramas.dk/fullscreen5/f22-fleetweek-NY.html)
When viewing 360 degree images using another format (I am not sure which; example: http://www.shorebytour.com/living/), I get a placeholder with the red x icon).
Could somebody please tell me which settings I need to change, or whether I need a plugin to make this work?
You probably need to install whatever ActiveX control they require to render their 360-degree views. If the site doesn't tell you what AX control you need from whom then you'll have to ask them. There are many AX viewers use for bubble views and obviously you don't want to install them all. You may choose not even to install the one that they decided to use if it is some esoteric or proprietary AX control that only works for their site.
I had ActiveX disabled when I visited that site and saw the yellow alert saying that AX was blocked, so I figured they were trying to install the viewer just by visiting their site (very, very rude behavior indeed). I didn't bother digging into the HTML code to see that it was calling a Java applet. It is foolish that the site never mentions that Java is required for full use of their site, or that they don't bother to detect the absence of Java and tell you that you need it.
