HTML Embed and Netscape 7.1

[TC]

I use an Embed tag, which works, i.e. my sound file is played, but I
can't get the Quicktime console to display. All I see is a white
rectangle. This is the tag:

<embed src="file:///C:/personal software and data/Tammy/wav/Kenny
Chesney-Xmas For Tammy's Home Page.wav"
hidden=false autostart=true loop=true controls=console align=absmiddle
height=60 width=144>
</embed>

Any suggestions?

TIA.

Didn't Netscape 7.1 learn how to correctly use the Object tag so you
don't need embed?

I think it has something to do with the fact that Netscape was designed for
web browsing, and not file browsing. I am not sure if it understands the
"file:" protocol.

Try puting the file on your web server, and pointing to it from there.
