Description

[R. L. Head]

I wrote the code for this site.  When I bring it up in IE, it plays sounds when
the cursor passes over the items on the navigator bar (musical instruments). 
You can also tell you are over the instrument because a box appears around it. 
Firefox plays no sound.  I can email you the code if you can't get what you want
from a show source.

I hate Microsoft.  Anything I can do to stop them is wonderful.  As far as I am
concerned, Bill Gates has effectively crippled Internet and software development
because of his desire to take over the world.  He's a little Napoleon who needs
to be stopped!  The point is, your browser has to be able to do everything that
IE can do and more.  That's the only way you can dent his hold on the world.  I
might also mention it would be nice if you worked with people who are interested
in open source OSs like Linux.  The faster we can get rid of Microsoft, the
better as far as I am concerned!!!

Thank you so much!

   if (document.all) 
     {document.all.sound.src = a[0]; 
     }

document.all is an IE-only property.

I do appreciate your identifying the reason it is failing in Firefox.  I "borrowed" the code from some download site.  I will see if I can now figure out the fix.  If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them.

         alt="Discography; Tang Drum" 
         width="72" border="0" height="90"></a> 
</div>
```

The issue is still the same

```
  if (document.all)
    {document.all.sound.src = foo;
    }
```

It doesn't work in WebKit nor Blink, and I doubt it is working in Edge.

Maybe we should close this as INVALID by now. I don't think the site is maintained too.
