Thanks Ruth, much appreciated

Now they can turn the sound file off if they want to.

music embed

Post by viclewis »

Ruth:
I inserted the code for my midi file on the index page. It was working and now it does not in IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.0.4.


My other midi files are playing in 6 of my virtural Tour Rooms.
Example: http://www.fbclongwood.org/Revised%20Ch ... chapel.htm
I took two snapshots of the player on the index page but I don't know how to submit them to you to see. I have them on my desktop in jpg format.

Check the path. When I try to get the midi from that directory it says page not found.

midi player

Post by viclewis »

Ruth:
It is there on the server. I changed the path to reflect the directory/folder"..midi_music/LetsJustPraisTheLord.midi"
And it still will not play or display the quicktime player.
What I can't understand is that it was playing on the server before.
Could it be something was turned off at the server?

I am about to the change all the files under Revised Church Website to the root directory folder of the website which will now be a new look for our website.

I can only say that any combination of paths I tried to get the mid say page not found. The first I tried is what Netscape gives as the path to the midi

Code: Select all

http://fbclongwood.org/midi_music/letsJustPraiseTheLord.mid
http://fbclongwood.org/Revised%20Church%20Website/midi_music/letsJustPraiseTheLord.mid
I even tried to see if somehow the spelling was wrong, i.e. lets was capitalized or The was small.

I can only suggest that you try the full path instead of using the ../ stuff and see what happens, because I couldn't find it anyplace.

I can't find it, either. Did you upload it as binary and not text?

Just another mention that <bgsound...> is allowed only in the <head>. You have it inside a table in the body.

Just a couple of quick comments... Looks (Sounds?) to me like it's now playing on your index page.

Have you considered trying autostart="true" in your <embed> tags, to make sure that the playback starts automatically?

You might also try setting hidden="true" in the <embed> tag, so that the embedded player does not appear on the page.

Finally, I'm not sure that loop="infinite" is correct syntax in an <embed> tag. I think you want loop="true" instead.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Vic,

It's working for me also, but I'm wondering if it's working from the bgsound, since you have the embed with a .midi ending. Can you use .midi? I thought it was .mid.
