.wav files and MACs....
Hello group -
Using Dreamweaver I was able to create an effect where a wav file is played with a mouseover on a graphic.
The wav file won't play on MAC computers.
The code that Dreamweaver inserts within the is:

Can anyone tell me if this code can be adapted to allow the MAC user to play the wav file on mouseover?
Thanks,

I personally think Flash or mp3 is the way to go, but you can also serve .aiff files to mac if you want, instead of .wav. Or leave our ears be!
Note: it's not possible to tell what a function does without seeing the actual function.

hi susan...
thanks for the tips... i would have gotten back to you sooner, but it seems this script does not send an email when someone replies to a post... even though i checked that option...
this is a wave file because it is a sound effect... it is the sound of a clapboard clapping when the mouse passes over it... the clapboard starts out open, mouseover causes it to close with a "clap!"...
i couldn't point you to the actual site because it's against the rules to post a url, even if it points to a problem that would best be explained with a real-time visual inspection...
however, if you are curious, i can email the url to you...
best wishes,
the-muse

Against what rules?
.wav is pc, .aiff is mac, you would have to serve the file in a different format to macs, or use Flash. Flash is by far the most common solution.

thanks susan,
no... i got the rules mixed up with another forum which doesn't allow it's subscribers to post any urls leading to the site in quesion...
at any rate... i am working on a flash solution at your suggestion...
meantime, it would be nice if the browser developers would get it all together...
