Problem NO Sound in MAC Firefox

[webstixdev]

Hi!

I have downloaded latest version of the Online timer.zip from
http://www.speedbagforum.com/timer.zip and extracted to a folder.

I tried to access the path of the folder through URL, Online timer worked perfect in Windows FIREFOX 3.0.6, IE6,IE7. Thanks a lot! but I can't hear sound in Mac Firefox. It is working fine in mac Safari . I can't figure out where it is going wrong. Please do help me with this issue.

Technical Description.
Mac Version: OS X 10.4
Firefox Version: 3.0.1

Eagerly waiting for your response

I'm not sure what might be wrong. I also have Mac OS X 10.4 , but using FireFox 3.0.6. It works ok for me, from the zip file.

When you unzipped all the files, can you confirm that all the audio files (.wav) were unzipped as well? Also are you opening the timer.html file?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Thanks for you great Response.
Let me Explain my scenario in detail.
My Requirement
1. I need to place the sound files in folder say "media".
2. I need to place the html and js file in other folder say "timer"

media folder is in root say if my site name www.example.com then i will place my media files in www.example.com/media

timer folder is inside the site say
http://www.example.com/Inside_Page/m...mer/timer.html

I need to call my media files for sound, what i did is just place the sound files in root(base) . The code recognized the sound files and played the sound in almost every browser but not in Mac Firefox.


Hope I have explained my Problem in detail.

Please Help me.

Ok, you are trying to re-use it on another site. Sorry, I can't help in that case, my policy is to require a fee for re-use. You can PM me if you are interested.

We have bought a License to add timer into our site. We are having problems in the Timer scripts, the problem is that we could not here the sound of the timer only in Mac Firefox.

Let me Explain the scenario in detail.
Requirement:
1. We need to place the sound files in folder say "media".
2. We need to place the html and js file in other folder say "timer"

For example if the domain name is "www.domainname.com" then path for the media and timer folder is "www.domainname.com/media" and "www.domainname.com/timer" respectively.

In other words, instead of having all the files in a single folder say "timer". we need to have hierarchy and we need to play a sound file using path and not calling the sound file directly from the root folder.



Please let us know about this ASAP.

Thanks

Change the embed2-6.js file as follows:

(add ../media/ to the front of each SRC attribute). I've confirmed this works in FireFox mac.

If you have more questions PM me your e-mail address.

document.write('<embed style="height:1; width:1;" src="../media/bell1.wav" autostart="false" id="bell1.wav" enablejavascript="true"/>');
document.write('<embed style="height:1; width:1;" src="../media/buzzer3_x.wav" autostart="false" id="buzzer3_x.wav" enablejavascript="true"/>');
document.write('<embed style="height:1; width:1;" src="../media/buzzer_x.wav" autostart="false" id="buzzer_x.wav" enablejavascript="true"/>');
document.write('<embed style="height:1; width:1;" src="../media/click_x.wav" autostart="false" id="click_x.wav" enablejavascript="true"/>');
document.write('<embed style="height:1; width:1;" src="../media/short1.wav" autostart="false" id="short1.wav" enablejavascript="true"/>');
document.write('<embed style="height:1; width:1;" src="../media/short2.wav" autostart="false" id="short2.wav" enablejavascript="true"/>');

You can ask me any technical question regarding Joomla and component conversion.

Thanks

Can you zip up your HTML and send to me? I really can't say what might be wrong without seeing the source code.
