Background: Our Pastor wishes the church to have a WEB presence -
including the availability of sermons. I date from dial-up era
when much audio was "download then play". Streaming was available
in theory - my ISP could not keep up with it.
I understand that HTML5 has an "audio tag". In reality, what does
that mean?
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_audio.asp and
I discovered that the example does not run with my standard
profile but does if I use SeaMonkey's default profile. May be
time to do some housecleaning ;/
TCW had recommended https://html5test.com and SM's default
profile did score slightly higher.
https://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/audio explain.
The examples in that site do not work with either profile -
giving a 404 error. However doing a cut-n-paste of the audio
file's URL to the Location Bar works.
To oversimplify it, HTML5 functionality includes a browser being able
to play audio without assistance from a plugin or addon.
What questions should I &/or Pastor be asking?
Hmmm.
Comments?
Well constructed web designs do not depend on browser name, browser
version, or proprietary addons or plugins. They simply work for all
visitors who do not come equipped only with antiquated software or
with hardware ill suited to their individual needs, and thus maximize
conformity with Mark 16:15 at least in its tenor.
Hadn't thought of that verse in context of site design. But is
does imply using audio formats that are minimally encumbered &/or
natively available on various machine/browser combos.
*CAUTION* -- I date from era of *HIGH* speed PAPER tape ;/
As I. :-)
