I have the following html file that plays a wav file when the user hovers over the 'Play' anchor tag. It works perfectly on IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari on both Windows and Mac - except for Firefox on the Mac which does not play the file.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
function PlayAudio() {
var s = document.getElementById("soundFile");
s.Play();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<embed src="MySound.wav" enablejavascript="true" type="audio/wav" autostart="false" width="0" height="0" id="soundFile" />
<a href="#" onmouseover="PlayAudio()">Play</a>
</body>
</html>
If the autostart attribute of the embed tag is set to true then the wav file plays as expected in Firefox for Mac, but not on the mouseover of the anchor tag.
Any ideas?
