I have this code on my homepage: <body onload="playSound('ding 2.wav')">. It has worked on and off during all of the Firefox 4 betas, and now in the release, it doesn't work again. Is there some way I can get it to work consistently. It works consistently in 'Chrome' and 'IE9', but intermittently in Firefox. It seems that every time it got fixed in the beta, the next release would break it again.

Can you post a link?
Do you specify a MIME type to make Firefox use a specific plugin?

  • WMP: type="application/x-mplayer2"

A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.

No URL. The homepage is just a local homepage.

Yes, I have it set to play .wav files with the quicktime plugin. As I said before, it would work in the every other beta release. Just when I thought they had it resolved, the next release comes out and breaks it again.
