Hello,
Here is a page which contains an "evoluated" (to distinguish-it from the
simple one) way to hear sound on a html page event. From my memory, it
worked under all major browsers, but didn't succeed these last days.
I've just tried it today under IE6, Netscape 7, Mozilla 7 and Opera 1.6.
And it only works under IE.
Could you try, please. Is it the same for you ?
Here is the entire HTML file :
------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<!-- SOUND CODE (for évoluated way)
NB : not in external .js due to pb on insertAdjacentH TML -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaS cript"><!--
var arPreloadSounds = new Array();
arPreloadSounds[0] = "sound.wav" ; // sounds to preload :
document.write( '<BGSOUND ID="auIEContain er">');
var IE=(navigator.a ppVersion.index Of("MSIE")!=-1 && document.all)?1 :0;
var NS=(navigator.a ppName=="Netsca pe"&&navigator. plugins["LiveAudio"])?
1:0;
var ver4 = IE||NS? 1:0;
function PreloadSounds()
{
var Str;
if (!ver4)
return;
if (NS)
{
auEmb = new Layer(0,window) ;
}
else
{
Str = "<DIV ID='auEmb' STYLE='position :absolute;'></DIV>";
document.body.i nsertAdjacentHT ML("BeforeEnd", Str);
}
Str = '';
for (i=0; i<arPreloadSoun ds.length; i++)
Str += "<EMBED SRC='" + arPreloadSounds[i] + "'
AUTOSTART='FALS E' HIDDEN='TRUE'>" ;
if (IE)
{
auEmb.innerHTML = Str;
}
else
{
auEmb.document. open();
auEmb.document. write(Str);
auEmb.document. close();
}
auCon = IE? document.all.au IEContainer:auE mb;
auCon.control = AudioControl;
}
function AudioControl(wh Sound,play)
{
if (IE)
this.src = play? arPreloadSounds[whSound]:'';
else
eval("this.docu ment.embeds[whSound]." + (play? "play
()":"stop()") );
}
function PlaySound(whSou nd)
{
if (window.auCon)
auCon.control(w hSound,true);
}
function StopSound(whSou nd)
{
if (window.auCon)
auCon.control(w hSound,false);
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- SIMPLE WAY (IE ONLY) -->
<bgsound id=music loop=1 autostart="fals e">
<a href="#" onMouseOver="do cument.all.musi c.src='sound.wa v'">SIMPLE WAY

Yes, this is an old IE4 / NN4 cross-browser media script.
It uses <bgsound> object in IE and Java-based Bitnik Software plugin in
NN (with was build in NN 4.x).
NN 4 is gone as well as Bitnik Software itself (I even not sure if I
spelled it properly Bitnik? Bitnick? Bitnique? Sounded alike anyway).
AFAIK neither Netscape > 4, nor Opera not Firefox do not currently
provide a build-in media interface (?) So a scriptable Flash movie is
the only option (?)

You mean the `bgsound' _element_, which is not Valid HTML.

Neither is gone. As for the latter, it is only that Beatnik, Inc. has
discontinued its support. There are no new versions of that plugin
available:

True, because that interface has always been provided by the plugin,
to be accessed through the DOM. Joined efforts of the major vendors
to standardize the former have begun some time ago:
<URL:http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2004-06-30.html>
BTW: Forget about `embed', that is not Valid HTML either. Use the
`object' element from HTML 4.01 instead, supported in the named
browsers. Be sure to use its content to provide for an alternative
in case it is not supported (I think a visible hyperlink to the used
media would suffice.)
So a scriptable Flash movie is the only option (?)
It is not. However, depending on the target environment, it is probably
the most reliable and fastest option (even though it requires another
plugin, the Macromedia Flash Player Plug-in).

I made an html-page with this line in it:
<A HREF="http://www.bla.com" onClick="javascript:window.close()"
target="moeder">link</A>
It works very well in Internet Explorer, but in Netscape 7 the url isn't
opened in the moeder window. How come and how can I fix it so it works in
Netscape too? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hi all,
I've written this little piece of code, which doesn't seem to work in
Mozilla 1.5. I haven't tried it on other Gecko browsers, but I've found
some indication that Netscape 6+ has the same problem. Internet Explorer 6
and Opera 7 have no problems with it.

Hi,
I am trying to get a dynamic table going. You click a button to add a
row. In the newly created row a button to delete the row is placed
(try the code example below). In Netscape, pressing the delete row
button crashes the browser. Why ? What is the correct way to do this ?
I am stumped why this following code works in IE and Opera but crashes
Netscape 7 (ie makes it disappear and try to send a bug report etc).

Hi,
I want to try and get a lottery type script to run in these two
browsers before i put it on my site.
It runs OK in I.E.6 and my friend says it works in netscape 7 so i
can't see the problem with 6, they're both fairly modern - aren't
they?
I'm not looking for someone else to do the legwork, just point me in
the right direction. It looks like it's down to some browser-feature

I'm a newbie here, so please bear with me.
I develop web pages for a company intranet where Internet Explorer 6

browser-agnostic (i.e., works with Netscape, version 4x, 7x, etc). My
question is this: I have about 10 table rows, each tagged with a class

Save this and run it in IE or Opera and then in Mozilla or Netscape 6+.
In IE/Opera, I get the expected 4 alerts.
In Mozilla/Netscape, I get *9*.
In the example table, there are 4 rows with 4 columns each in the tbody.
I'd expect 4 child nodes for the table body with 4 children each. I get
those 4 plus 5 alerts in Mozilla/Netscape. I get only
those 4 in IE and Opera. Note that...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
