hello, it doesn't work on other browsers like chrome either. front page is known to produce code that isn't standard compliant & most probably will always work well with IE only. in this case a <bgsound> element is used, but this isn't valid html and non-IE browsers can't deal with that...

That page uses BGSOUND and that doesn't work in Firefox.

<bgsound src="whitesat.mid" loop="1">

Something like this should work in Firefox:

<embed src="whitesat.mid" type="audio/midi">

Did this work before? Are your plugins up to date?

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

I looked at it a little more and can confirm that it doesn't work on Chrome as well. Please contact the webmaster of the page. As per the bug I filed, I will mark it as invalid.
