I've added the following bgsound tag into the body of a page, but
firefox doesn't play anything.
Opening the same page with IE , the bgsound plays.
--------------------------------------------------
<bgsound src="bg/scatman.mid" loop=-1>
--------------------------------------------------

Can anybody help me out.
Thank you

bgsound is not a standard tag, it is Microsoft's own invention and
therefore Firefox doesn't and will not support it.

FF can't play it because bgsound is an IE/MS thing only.

You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender...

It took me quite awhile to get all figured out. Not only do you need to
install the right driver, but you need to edit it to work in a version
greater than 1.0, which it was written for. Email me and I'll send you the
file ready to go.
