I am trying to put a music file on my site but using firefox I am being asked to install a plugin for Qtime 5.1.2 or summit like that, anyway, I have that version installed on my pc and it's not being recognised...

does anyone know what I amdoing wrong...

The code i'm using is:-
<embed src="Bugle.midi" autostart="true" loop="true" height="0" width="2">

Cheers guys..

:thumbsup:

probably because plugins for internet explorer are different to plugins for firefox... it'll probably sort itself out if you just click the install plugin thing :P

Nah, I have tried the install plugins and it won't allow me to install it...it gives the option to manual install but I have done that and it's still not installed onto FF..?

I'm having that too on my site. Quicktime seems to work for other things in FF, but I think it's the embed tag that's causing the problem.

My solution is to drop the embed tag as I can't stand musical flashy crap on websites and have no idea why I ever thought it was a good idea putting it in there.

I had thet problem also. If i were you I would get Opera at www.opera.com its free and faster to use than firefox and IE. eg. to go back and foreward all you have to do is move the mouse right and hold onto the right button. Get rid of firefox, its useless.
You could also try just using IE.

:wow: :lol:

That's got to be the worst piece of advice I've ever seen.

Opera is OK if you like great big banner ads. I'd just drop the embed tag, most W3C compliant validators I've used on my site threw the embed tag up as non-compliant so I binned it.

Does the midi file actually end with the extention .midi? It's usually just .mid
Try changing that, it might be getting the plugins confused!

Also try using the object tag
This might work:
<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" width=300 height=43 classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,02,902" standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="bugle.mid">
<PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">
Just fiddle with the parameter tags...
