Works In Netscape, Not Internet Explorer

Partly in IE - which part? It threw an error immediately for me with IE5 "object doesn't support this property or method" so obviously you have some browser-sepcific code.

http://wsabstract.com/script/script2/soundlink.shtml was posted in a thread just a few below this one:)

BTW - I doubt a lot of people will want to wait and wait for those wav files.

1)The part that works is the mouseover image change. Did you even get that far or did you quit with the "object does not support..." prompt?

2)I agree about the long loading time for the .wav files; I wouldn't wait fo them if I were surfing. But rather than state the obvious, what's your solution--if any?

3)The post you cite was part of my early thread and the link refers to a sound-only mouseover--which was not my initial request. I KNOW about that one. What I am looking for is one that COMBINES sound and image-changing in a single j-script. Which I found--except that it only works in Netscape: and yes, of course, I realize it is browser-specific. What I want to know is if there is some way of tweaking it (cross-browser stuff) so that it will work in IE.

No offense, but I need advice and not someone pointing out the obvious.

.wav files are not for the web. Try one of the player options, or .mp3

As far as the cross-browser stuff, you will likely run into issues with more than just IE -- also Netscape 6. They use a different DOM.

I can't help you with the code, as this isn't something I can/will do.

Quite frankly, I would be most inclined to do it in Flash, and use JavaScript to replace the Flash with a regular image and link. But not if you are going to use bitmap images and .wav files.

P.S. Easy on Andy, what is obvious to you may not be to others reading the thread. Or even to Andy for that matter.

Thanks. I've done this with applets and they work (more importantly load) efficiently, but I was hoping for some simple javascript results. Or a little help. Guess it won't happen. No loss. Truth is, I loathe sound on websites anyway and was just fooling around with this as a challenge of sorts. Almost had it and then... Makes me despise IE even more, if that's possible.

As for my treatment of Andy, you're probably right, except that this was connected to another thread--which he brought up. In any case, Suzanne, your memory is either short or selective: you all but flamed my sorry butt the first time I posted on this site. At least you turned me on to CSE Validator, for which I want to give you a belated thanks.

One thing, though. What the hell does this mean:

"I can't help you with the code, as this isn't something I can/will do."

This is a javascript help forum. If you're not inclined to help that is certainly your perogative. But why would you go out of your way to announce the fact?

I was a senior contributing member in an applet forum for 16 months. I neither judged content nor insulted those who requested assistance.

Sometimes no response is better than a nothing response.

Webslinger,

Take a look at http://members.aol.com/jproscenium/recent.html

I have javascript code for that page that uses mouseovers to both change images and play sound at the same time. It works with both NS and IE. Hope it is helpful.

Thanks, Bob! This is very helpful and the script is easy to comprehend. Sure appreciate it!
