embed
embed tag to play audio on a website I built worked fine in FF 20.0. I installed FF 24.0 tonight and now the audio won't play. It plays in Chrome 29.0 and IE 9/10 no problem. What happened to FF? Gotta have the audio load and play on it's own!

Chosen solution
I appreciate the quick response. However, I think I have it solved.
From what I found online, it seems that Mozilla removed support for the embed tag in version 22 (which I skipped over going from 20 to 24). They want you to use the "object" tag.
I'm been messing around with 3 different ways to embed audio into a webpage when the page loads. I got it working IE9, FF20, and Chrome 28. But in another computer I have set-up in the same room, I tested it in IE9, FF24, and Chrome 29. It only worked in IE9. Very disappointing.
However, I just went and installed different code and it is working in all the versions mentioned above. I've been up all night and it's 5:15AM where I'm at so I need to go to bed.
If you're interested in the code and how I got it work in ALL the browsers, just let me know and I'll give you the code and tell you where it's located on the pages and what's in the JavaScript file too.
Thanks! Scorpious64
