Scott,If you use QuickTime for WAV files then you need these files in Firefox's plugins folder:npqtplugin.dll npqtplugin2.dllnpqtplugin6.dllnpqtplugin7.dllnsIQTScriptablePlugin.xptQuickTimePlugin.classYou might also want to install the ActiveX plugin which is used for Windows Media Player (not the deadly Windows ActiveX). The filename is npmozax.dll, and can be either downloaded or installed here: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download Use the plugin for Firefox 1.5, as it works for 1.5.0.1.Back to my original question, which I have answered for myself, after some research. Using both the bgsound and embed tags was definitely required in order for the sound files to be cross browser compatible, i.e., Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey/Opera/IE. However, with the newer browsers, as you found, it is no longer required. If you want your pages, which have sounds, to be backwards compatible, it is still necessary to use both the embed and object tags.Cheers!
