There is a web site which many of you might know about. It's kind of old,
but for its purpose, it's kind a cool.
http://www.whitestick.co.uk
Here's the question that I have. The guy who designed this page has
embedded some html in the source code which allows a wave file to play when
the page is loaded. Before you ask, no, it's not flash. It's just a
standard wave file, nothing fancy that he has set as the background sound.
The way he does this is kind of scrooie and I'm not sure I totally remember
the code he used, but even on web sites which use more the html standard
like
<BGSOUND="path to file">
or
<EMBED SRC="Path to file">
Even those web sites are not correctly playing the audio when they are
opened.
OK, on the Windows side of things, it pops up the information bar, and I
have to hit alt+N, then tell it to run add-on. Granted, I dono where I E
thinks it's an add-on, but then IE's stupid in many ways. LOL! Even with
Firefox on the Mac, which is not very usable in my view at least, or heck,
even Google Chrome. I've not been able to make this work on the Mac. I
have even tried both Lightning web browser, and even the most up to date
nightly of Web Kit, with no good.
I've looked through every possible setting in Safari that I know there is to
look at with no luck.
I'm starting to honestly wonder if this may actually be a preference not in
Safari but somewhere within Quicktime or the like.
I thought maybe I needed a Safari plugin to make this work, but no searches
are showing anything useful.
I'm just wonderring if anyone knows what I need to do to make this work
correctly.
Chris.
