Hi - this works like a charm in IE and Netscape. What parameters need to
be set for Firefox for 'autostart' and 'showcontrols' ????
Any help would be appreciated - jr

I am running into something similar. I think it just maybe firefox I am trying to embed audio I get the controls but they all start at once even though I have the autostart tag set to false on all the media. My best advice to you is either find a friend who can code java applets and get him to help you write a player for your files. I have been trying to crank this out for 8 hours today and still nothing. Well I worked on the html part. Just keep cranking man I will let you know if i can find anything that could help us both.

autostart needs to be set to 0 or 1 for it to work correctly in Firefox.

Dude thanks for the html help. That did the trick even works in IE. I am starting to get back into html again and working on some new things to me at least. I have never used css until recently and I like it some what but still having some issues but thats cause I am new at it lol. Any way thanks for the help and hopefully you and others can help in the future if need be.
