How can I play embedded .wav files on my personal website?

I created a personal website using Kompozer. I downloaded .wav files and embedded them on my website. Now, they will not play when I view my website using the latest version of Firefox. What gives? Here is the code I used to embed the .wav files.

<embed src="andnow2.wav" autostart="true" hidden="true"

loop="false" volume="50" height="25" width="25">

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Maybe try a more recent editor if you can't make it work with Kompozer:

You will have to use the AUDIO tag with the HTML5 media player and not the EMBED tag.

Firefox 52 and later releases only support the Shockwave Flash plugin and disable all other plugins. If you need to use other plugins then you can use the Firefox 52 ESR release. Otherwise you can stay with the current Firefox release version.

Thanks for the info, but now a miniplayer appears on my webpage - paulrdavis.com. What I want to have happen is for the audio file (.wav) to play when the webpage opens, but not have a miniplayer show. Essentially, I want the .wav file to play in background when the webpage opens. Can this be done?

Thanks.

You can hide the player with CSS and add an autoplay attribute.

<audio controls="" preload="auto" autoplay="" style="visibility:hidden">
<source src="andnow2.wav" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

Dear Cor-el (any relation to Jor-el?):

If you can figure out how the code should be arranged, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

That is easy to fix. You misplaced the SOURCE tag outside the AUDIO tag:

<audio controls="" preload="auto" autoplay=""
 style="visibility: hidden;"></audio>
<source src="ed_sul01.wav" type="audio/mpeg"></source>

This should work:

<audio controls="" preload="auto" autoplay=""
 style="visibility: hidden;">
<source src="ed_sul01.wav" type="audio/mpeg"></source>
</audio>

Note that you can use the builtin Inspector to check the code.

Hi Cor-el,

It didn't solve my problem with those two pages. What next?

Thanks.

Also, on my website builder, Kompozer, the closing tag, </audio>, could not be saved when I wrote it on the two pages.

The only part of the full text you posted that I couldn't paste is: </audio>. I'm going to give bluegriffon I try. I'll let you know how that works.

Dear Cor-el,

Bluegriffon worked! My website, paulrdavis.com, is now fully functional, thanks to you. I'm sending you a virtual boxcar of your favorite snack or beverage. Again, many thanks!

Dear Cor-el

I have one more problem that needs fixing: On the page "Some of What I've Written, I have a Table of Content, and also individual poems. Each poem in the Table of Contents should re-direct directly to that poem, and each poem has under it a link "Table of Contents" that should re-direct directly to the Table of Contents. Some of the poem links in the Table of Contents work, some don't. Some of the poems' links to re-direct to the Table of Contents work, and some don't.

Could you give me the proper code for each problem?

Here is the code I now have:

<html>

If you check the links then you can see that some links include HTML code or escaped ASCII code (%0D%0A) and not all links have spaces converted to an underscore or have a typo (god -> gosd). There are also links that have a trailing underscore. You will have to go through them all.

This is a simple bookmarklet to make the name links visible: javascript:(function(){var d=document,sS='[name]:before{content:" [" attr(name) "] ";font-size:75%;color:#f44;background-color:#eee}',nS;nS=d.createElement('STYLE');nS.id='style_nam';nS.type='text/css';nS.innerHTML=unescape(sS);d.querySelector('head').appendChild(nS);})()

Hi Cor-el

I'm somewhat confused, or maybe just stupid.

I don't quite understand your last post and all the code there.

This code:

                 <a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="#Christmas%20Day"> Christmas Day </a>

works for the poem "Christmas Day" and directs directly to the complete poem, and the redirect to the Table of Contents works there as well.

The code you gave me for "Christmas Day" is, I believe and correct me if I'm wrong:

Christmas Day «/Some%20of%20What%20I%27ve%20Written.html#Christmas%20Day» Christmas Day «Christmas Day»

Where does that code belong?

I need clearer instructions on exactly how to write the code because I don't understand the first two bits of code you gave me.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm kind of dumb about this.

Thanks.

I posted a list of all the links on that page. Only the first two links aren't working currently and you may want to move these first two links to the same container where the other links starting with Ascension reside and substitute the spaces in the anchor and corresponding name with an underscore and cleanup that part of the code with the <br> tags that have a style attribute. Some BR tags got corrupted and the style part became part of the text as stray style text (BR tags do not need a style attribute).

  • <br> style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">

Change to:


<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="#Put_the_Fingers_of_Your_Left_Hand_in_the_Palm_of_Your_Right"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Put the Fingers of Your Left
                      Hand in the Palm of Your Right</span></a>

Corresponding name link:

<a name="Put_the_Fingers_of_Your_Left_Hand_in_the_Palm_of_Your_Right"></a>
<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="#Razor_Blade_Life_on_the_Mountaintop_as_Seen_from_the_Lighthouse_on_the_Rocky_Shore">

Dear Cor-el

Here is the code in Bluegriffon that I used. Did I do it right? The two poem links still don't work. HELP!

<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="#Put_the_Fingers_of_Your_Left_Hand_in_the_Palm_of_Your_Right">Put the Fingers of Your
                       Left Hand in the Palm of Your Right </a>

<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="#Razor_Blade_Life_on_the_Mountaintop_as_Seen_from_the_Lighthouse_on_the_Rocky_Shore">Razor Blade Life on the Mountaintop as Seen from the Lighthouse on the Rocky Shore </a>

Thanks.

Hi again Cor-el

Here's the code as it stands now. The first two poems still don't redirect. I've tried different coding, but I'm stymied. I have no idea what is wrong.

The first two links appear to be working at the moment, but the page code looks a bit weird The link text ended up in an 'id' element instead of in a span element. You can compare the code with the other item in the table of content in the Inspector. You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" a="" href="#Put%20the%20Fingers%20of%20Your%20Left%20Hand%20in%20the%20Palm%20of%20Your%20Right">
<br>
 <br>
 <id>Put the Fingers of Your Left Hand in the Palm of Your Right
 <span style="font-family: verdana;"> <b></b> </span>
  <br>
  <br>
  </id>
</a>

<a href="#Razor%20Blade%20Life%20on%20the%20Mountaintop%20as%20Seen%20from%20the%20Lighthouse%20on%20the%20Rocky%20Shore">
 <id>Razor Blade Life on the Mountaintop as Seen from the
     Lighthouse on the Rocky Shore <br>
 <br>
 </id>;
</a>


You probably want something like this:

<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="#Put%20the%20Fingers%20of%20Your%20Left%20Hand%20in%20the%20Palm%20of%20Your%20Right">
 <br>
 <br>
 <span style="font-family: verdana;">
   Put the Fingers of Your Left Hand in the Palm of Your Right
 </span>
 <br>
 <br>
</a>

<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="#Razor%20Blade%20Life%20on%20the%20Mountaintop%20as%20Seen%20from%20the%20Lighthouse%20on%20the%20Rocky%20Shore">
 <span style="font-family: verdana;">
   Razor Blade Life on the Mountaintop as Seen from the Lighthouse on the Rocky Shore
 </span>
 <br>
 <br>
</a>

Maybe consider to ask advice elsewhere at the Stack Overflow forum site. There they can give more advice about how to code your website properly and cleanup some of the code.

Hi Cor-el

After much web sleuthing and research, I was able to get the links working properly. I will look around and get some help cleaning up my code. Thanks for all your help and pointing me in the right directions. Have a great life and be content. Bye.
