music not playing in mozilla/firefox

[jasonc310771]

Below is the code that will play music in Internet Explorer and Netscape but i do not have any code to allow us to play music in a FireFox mozilla browser!
does anyone have any ideas what i should use to get this to work.

thanks in advance for your help.

[code]<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
var filename="music/MySong.wav";
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
document.writeln ('<BGSOUND SRC="' + filename + '">');
else if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
document.writeln ('<EMBED SRC="' + filename + '" AUTOSTART=TRUE WIDTH=144 HEIGHT=60><P>');
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<EMBED SRC="music/MySong.wav"></EMBED>
</NOSCRIPT>[code]

There is no such tag as <bgsound> or <embed>. The tag for attaching any sort of object (such as sound) to a web page is the <object> tag.

I don't know what you try to do..but your code is very confusing...

common code for music is this

<embed src="hello.wma" width="150" height="30" autostart="true"></embed>

hope this help

Here's information about the object element.

I tried using it once and found it worked in Firefox and not IE for me, so I switched back to the <embed> tag. Haven't tried the <object> tag lately though.
