I'm trying to use this snippet of code to embed a sound. I can't
persuade
FF or Epiphany to respect the autostart attribute. I've tried variations
such as autostart=["0"|0|"false"|false|etc] but to no avail.
BTW, the same code works correctly for both IE and Firefox on Mac and
Windows, so it really looks like a Linux problem :(
Otherwise, what am I doing wrong?
The world got complicated and you may not 'just do' this, also
Watch your syntax! <EMBED SRC ... (CAPS illegal!)
http://www.w3schools.com will take you on a journey the end of which
is blurred. This DOES work on linux-firefox
<embed height="30px" width="50px" src="lassbeg.mid"
autostart="false" loop="false">
BUT the validator bitches!
We discussed the task of embedding a sound cue (ding!) in HTML files here:
<http://www.nabble.com/sound-cues-td20389874.html>
But did not touch specifically on Linux/FF. Rather, all sorts of different
ways to do it were discussed.
Thanks Rick.. interesting discussion and I'm surprised it's not easier to do!
But the problem was autostart=0 not being respected. In your case autostart=1
I liked your comment about "flash-creep". Yuk.
