274445 - Browser ignores javascript message to play music

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 232294

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ray Haswell]

In Kelkoo, select music (CD) search for "Phantom of the Opera", select HMV
version of the new film CD and it allows user to play excerpts of the music.
Except that Firefox doesn't and Windows Explorer does. Is there a setting I have
not used?
I have updated all plugins.

Hope you can help.

The server sends a xxx.asf with Mime-type video/x-ms-asf and I get a file/save
as dialog. I open it with the default application which is the MS Media Player.

I see the problem too in Firefox 1.0/WinXPSP2.

The javascript console shows: 

Warning: Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard
document.getElementById() instead.
Source File:
http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=338196&source=6317&WT.mc_t=Aff_Kelkoo&WT.mc_n=SP1
Line: 440

Which leads me to think that it's an evangelism issue.  Poking around their
source shows some rather ugly HTML/JS issues in there.

Matti, correct me if I'm wrong, but the "undetected document.all" fix went into
the trunk only, and not FF, right?  Which would explain why this works for you
in 1.8a6, but not me and the reporter?

Oops.  This is a Dupe.
