Do you have a plug-in for audio/mp3 files?

Does it work if you remove the mention of SVG and just use XHTML?

Does it work if you use HTML instead of XML?
OS: MacOS X → Windows 2000
Hardware: Macintosh → PC
well I had been using wmp, now have installed a plugin.

I have to emphasise once again that for mozilla to be successful sound has to be
supported.

that doesn't mean via a plugin.... it has to be very easy.

jwatt,

this attachment does work in mozilla, camino and safari, but not opera (possibly an audio bug, already filed)

the main difference with the test file I atached is the lack of an html and body wrapper.

is this correct? safari works with either....

    
    

    
  
Did you mean that comment for bug 269915?

no the attachment is here...
however as you'll appreciate the new attachment is broken.

given that foreignobject is not afaik limited to html, it seems natural to expect the author to specify what the language is.
your example fails to do this...

I believe this bug and the other should remain open, until my original attachment works. unless you have a good rationale, which may well be the case

You said:

There was no file that attached to this bug at the time.

The reason your tests don't work is probably that you don't have a plugin to handle mp3. The <body> tag has nothing to do with it.

    
    

    
  
the attachment is with the other bug.

jwatt, I have attached a new file to this bug.

it is broken ie doesnt work in os x
whereas your does

the only difference being html and body.

please show a little more care and I think respect.
this has nothing to do with your suggestions
I tried both mp3 and wav files, this is not an issue

regards


    
    

    
  
if you believe that my attachment to this bug works for windows, leave closed,

however the other os x bug remains broken if html and body are included as should be clear to yoy by now...

That's not the only difference with the new file you attached. Your new file references an MP3 whereas mine references a WAV.

I did. I took your testcase, changed it to reference my WAV, and it worked. I tested before I made the above statement. It worked (and still works) for me with the html and body. Hence my assertion that it's not the html and the body that's preventing things working for you.

    
    

    
  
jwatt,

I do find that you are being obtuse and difficult about this, I already stated this is NOT an issue about wav or mp3.

I downloaded your wav and tested locally, I also tested using the attachmnent on the server.

reminder, this is the os x version... I dont have access to win2000 currently
however may try on xp one day...

No, this is the windows version. I did say earlier I thought you were commenting on the wrong bug.

        Attachment #285060 -
        Attachment is obsolete: true

    
    

    
  
That's your problem. The <html> and <body> were in the SVG namespace, so naturally since these tags aren't defined in SVG, they and their content were ignored.

    
    

    
  
jwatt this is plainly getting silly

my original attachment in the other bug that you closed defines html and is broken.


furthermore div is not defined in SVG, yet is not ignored.

    
    

    
  
As I already said, I took that testcase and changed it to reference the wav, and it works for me on Windows. What's silly is continuing to have discussions about the Mac being broken on the Windows bug. Comment on the Mac bug and I will reply there. I don't intend to reply on this bug again.

    
    

    
  
wfm too, but it would have been simpler, had you

A: not closed the OS X bug

B: not marked it as a dupe of this bug

C: used the attachment there, here, rather than some dodgy code that works but should not.

cheers

    
    

    
  
A: You closed the bug back in 2004 - check the bug history.

B: Marking it as a duplicate was indeed my mistake. I failed to notice the bugs were for different platforms, so with identical subject lines I thought you'd filed two duplicates again (not sure why you needed two per-platform bugs rather than one cross-platform bug).

C: There's nothing "dodgy" about the code I attached - it absolutely should work - and the reason I attached it here was because this is the Windows bug and I have a Windows machine, not a Mac. Perhaps if you'd refrained from insisting on commenting about Mac on the Windows bug you'd have been less confused.
