Music will not play in FireFox

[wyzguy]

My web site, www.madisonwest54.com has the school song embedded as an
MP3 file in Page Properties on the home page. It plays fine in
Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. Even when I open the home page
from my local drive in FireFox I get nothing.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks

FF doesn't support the bgsound tag. It's IE only.

Have you configured FireFox on to handle specific file types, such as .mp3 under Content | File
Types?

Us the following script to play a background sound in FF:

<!-- START SOUND CODE, DELETE TO REMOVE -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
document.write('<bgsound src="yourfile.wav" LOOP="false">');
}
else {
document.write('<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" Name="MediaPlayer"
src="yourfile.wav" AutoStart="true" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowControls="0" ShowDisplay="0"
volume="1" HEIGHT="1" WIDTH="1" loop="false"><br>');
}
// End -->
</script>
<!-- END SOUND CODE -->

Change yourfile.wav to the actual name of the file.
