Re: firefox, MP3, & wim media player

I run a small 11 KB MP3 file of arnold saying "hasta la vista baby" on the
logout page (php page) of an online game I run (Blacknova traders).  I am
just wondering why when in firefox, it  will not play it (I have Windows
Media Player selected to play MP3s, WAVs , and MIDI files).

Is this microsoft purposely doing this or what is it?

It is a simple HTML code used: <bgsound src="hasta.mp3" />

<bgsound> is not valid HTML. Hence Firefox not doing anything.

Of course I know in several cases Firefox and netscape have special needs
in coding for scripts. Like a javascript slideshow I use on a page.  So is
there a  special little way firefox needs inline sound coded perhaps?

No darn wonder firefox is so security resistent - it cannot do half of the
stuff it should..

No, it's the other way round. IE shouldn't do half the stuff it does, that's why it's security-flawed.


Firefox - conform, dammit!!

Firefox *does* conform, on the whole. That's the point.
