Can't play wav file from Javascript in Firefox for Mac
Question
I have the following html file that plays a wav file when the user hovers over the 'Play' anchor tag. It works perfectly on IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari on both Windows and Mac - except for Firefox on the Mac which does not play the file.
We know the file type is supported because if the autostart attribute of the embed tag is set to true then the wav file plays as expected in Firefox for Mac, but the mouseover of the anchor tag fails to play the file.
Any ideas?
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
function PlayAudio() {
var s = document.getElementById("soundFile");
s.Play();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<embed src="MySound.wav" enablejavascript="true" type="audio/wav" autostart="false" width="0" height="0" id="soundFile" />
<a href="#" onmouseover="PlayAudio()">Play</a>
</body>
</html>
UPDATE
Still no success after 3 weeks. Can anyone help with this?

I fixed this problem by using javascript to create embed when want to play and remove it to stop. And the embed has autostart="true".
function Play() {
// Create and append <embed> element.
}
function Stop() {
// Remove <embed> element.
}

It may be because the file type is not supported. Try using an MP3 format, which will also be smaller, which is a bonus (typically about one tenth of the size of a WAV file).
