Script won't work in IE

The below script, I have been using for many years, stopped working in IE 7.0 all of a sudden.

It works using NS and Firefox.

Anyone know why this is? Did something change in IE 7.0 that may be causing this?

Thanks

Larry

This is only a comment on your coding style. Have you never heard of
arrays? Look at http://www.w3schools.com/JS/js_obj_array.asp

You could have used:

var sound = new Array("MSymca.mid", "MSdiscoinferno2.mid", ....etc.);
var y = Math.round(Math.random()*13);
var x = sound[y];
if ......

Instead of:

I would use:
if (/*@cc_on!@*/!1)

Which also works but is even more incomprehensible. ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion but that does not clear the problem.

The problem is with release 7.0 of IE. The problem did not exist with 6.0. I
have used this code for many years.

IE7 implemented lots of changes in scripting and related areas. Just
googling for something like "does bgsound work in ie7" would have
gotten you lots of useful data.

Good suggestion.

Spent some time googling but no solution.

Website where code is on is at http://www.dancedk.com/

Sound works with NS and Firefox but not with IE7.

Thanks

Just figured it out.

Security setting in IE was set to high.

Thanks for help.
