having problems with streaming audio
Please Help, I'm Trying to add audio to my site. I've gotten it so that it works with Internet Explorer. It has to work so that there is music on the front page slide show and the galleries. It now works great on IE. However on both Firefox and Safari it works on the slide show but not the Gallery. My code is as follows...In The CSS Section (I think the problem might be here).
#my_music {display: none;}
.homepage #my_music {display: block;}or
.gallery_XXXXXX #my_music {display: block;}And I have this code placed in my footer:
<div id ="my_music"><OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab# Version=5,1,52,701" STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject" width="280" height="46">
<param name="fileName" value="http://www.homelesshh.com/pipmusic.m3u">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-300">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="http://www.homelesshh.com/pipmusic.m3u" name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=46 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-300>
</OBJECT>

I see that the server sends the CSS file with a different URL depending on the user agent
http://cdn.smugmug.com/include/css/gecko/2.18/win/user_pipp-201008241932163-nostretch.css http://cdn.smugmug.com/include/css/gecko/4/linux/user_pipp-201008241932163-nostretch.css http://cdn.smugmug.com/include/css/gecko/3/win/user_pipp-201008241932163-nostretch.css
The CSS file that I get still gives a display:none for that embed element.
For which page is .gallery_XXXXXX meant ?
What is the meaning of or ?
#my_music {display: none;}
.homepage #my_music {display: block;}
or
.gallery_XXXXXX #my_music {display: block;}
A simple #my_music {display: block;} in that CSS file should work, so you need to remove the other lines

That is because you have #my_music {display: none;}
Firefox doesn't play media files if that content is hidden via display:none.
If you want to hide the player then use visibility:hidden
If you want visitors to be able to stop the music (I prefer that) then use {display: block;} there as well.
#my_music {visibility: hidden;} or #my_music {display: block;}
.homepage #my_music {display: block;}

Thanks so much for the reply. I have made the changes as you suggested. However it still does not work on any of the galleries. The URL to the sight is: http://www.pipp.smugmug.com/
Any further help on this is greatly appreciated :)
