Heh, sorry for the vague subject... don't know how much better I could put it. Today I've been working on my website, http://www.tacomafire.org, specifically the audio gallery. I got an idea from a friend of mine about playing some of the sounds. He uses this code:
He uses this code to be able to create a small box, that plays the audio from right in the browser. I was working on the website and checking it using Firefox 2.0.0.2, which had no problems showing that up. Later in the day I went to the firehouse and used that computer, which it didn't work!
What do I have in my firefox on my laptop that I don't have anywhere else? I don't recall installing anything particular that would enable me to use that box.
Also, for you programmers, do you recommend any other possible better alternatives for playing the audio in the browser, something that works on both platforms?
