Hartmann probably knows the answer to this.
Anyways, I have a site that has some flash buttons on it. It works fine in Firefox. When I open it in Internet Explorer 6 it blocks both the buttons and my embedded music, and pops up that gay tool bar that says "allow content" etc. The problem is that Microsoft handles the <object> and <embed> tags with ActiveX, and IE on medium security settings has activeX blocked. I tried using the techniques described on this real-player page, but it didn't work: http://www.realnetworks.com/resources/howt...nges/index.html Does anyone know how to get this to display correctly in IE? |

Everything in the above post was happening when I ran the webpage on my local computer.
Now that I've uploaded it to the server everything works fine in IE, but the music won't play in Firefox!! UUUGGGGGHHHH |

firefox (and the rest of the internet) doesn't support BGsound, only IE uses that
but yeah, could be a plugin issue in firefox, don't forget that firefox doesn't support most media types when freshly downloaded, it takes quicktime/quicktime alternative or something of the type -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

i have an embedded mp3, neither windows media player or quicktime/quicktime alt register the .mp3 filetype with firefox, although ie will play it with windows media player
i can either A. add .mp3 to my quicktime plugin or B. figure out a way to make the mp3 play in firefox with whatever media player a person has, because more than likely most people won't have .mp3 registered with their quicktime plugin (i know it can be done beause other sites have embedded mp3s that i can listen to with firefox) |

post the link to the site and have us try it out? or make it work both ways?
or encode the mp3 in flash and add it that way, (seems to be becomming more and more popular) playing with whatever medai player is present has a habit of never fucking working, at least in my experience. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

yeah looking at a webpage local on your computer isn't going to be the same as from an actual web server.
