Player Embedding issue

by thunderstriker September 30th 2011, 1:49 am

I am trying to create a music player for my site, but I cannot get the mp3 file to play.

Here is the code I currently have for the player:

<body>
<embed src = "(my sound file).mp3" autostart = "true" loop="true" width = "400" height = "30"/>
</body>

What's wrong?

The hosting issue was the problem. It now plays. Thanks.

BTW Badhaxers2, I'm taking a college-level programming class, plus I've check the Admin's tutorial. My code was correct but it still wouldn't play, that's why I asked.

However, your code will not work, you have not specified a height and width, you haven't properly closed your "embed" tag, and you have no "body" tags to nest them in.

Learn more about programming before you start telling people that they didn't do something right.
