On this page http://www.irvings-info-page.cityslide. ... 173849.htm there is a quicktime media feature thing underneath the blue bar that contains the date. It displays a mini quicktime icon but nothing happens. In IE it opens a mini player window and plays music.
Even though i'm not a huge fan of music on web sites, was wondering why this is not working from Mozilla.
Quicktime plugin problem?

I get a beatnik plugin console with no sound on that page. If I go directly to the threetimesalady.mid (see below) the midi file does play.
Here's the page source, starting right before the sound tags:
<!----STOP EMAIL ENCODING CODE HERE---><<!--WEBBOT bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan ALT="Site Meter" -->
<bgsound balance=-50 src="http://www.freeaudioclips.com/music1/Pop_Music/threetimesalady.mid" loop=100><embed align=center src=http://www.freeaudioclips.com/music1/Pop_Music/threetimesalady.mid width=145 height=60 type=audio/midi AUTOSTART="TRUE" LOOP="TRUE"> <noembed><bgsound src="example.mid" loop=10></noembed></embed>
I don't do much html but I recognized this as an attempt to use both the very old bgsound tag (specific to all versions of IE) along with the embed tag, for Netscape/Mozilla. The way I used to do that was:
<embed src="somefile.mid"><noembed><bgsound src="somefile.mid"></noembed> however ever since IE4, I think, embed works with both IE and NS/Moz.
I could be wrong but I think that the tags have to be in that order (embed, noembed, bgsound, /noembed) or at least have the bgsound tag encased within the noembed and /noembed tags, in order for the embed tagto work for non-IE browsers.
Not sure what that second bgsound tag, for the example.mid, is all about.
Bottom line, tell Irving to check the page with something other than IE..
