Question

I checked some themes here, but still can’t find answer about next.

On my website, I’m using different ways for audion playing.

if ($.browser.msie) {
    $(".audio").prepend($("<embed>").attr({
        'src':'/resources/voices/'+voice+'.wav',
        'HIDDEN':'true',
        'AUTOSTART':'true'
    }));
}else if($.browser.safari){
    $(".audio").removeAttr("style");
    $(".audio").prepend($("<object></object>").attr({
        'type':'audio/x-wav',
        'data':'/resources/voices/'+voice+'.wav',
        'width':'0',
        'height':'0'
    }));
    $("object:first").prepend($("<param>").attr({
        'name':'autoplay',
        'value':'true'
    }));
}else{
    $(".audio").prepend($("<audio></audio>").attr({
        'src':'/resources/voices/'+voice+'.wav',
        'volume':0.4,
        'autoplay':'autoplay'
    }));
}

Everything was fine, while some of website guests, said that there was errors connected with quicktime plugin.
And, yes, I installed quicktime from apple.com, and now, audio doesn’t play in IE. And in chrome it always asks about confirmation to use quicktime plugin.

Is it possible to ignore quicktime plugin, and use standart ways to play audio?
I’m looking anything from javascript…

Thank you!!!

I would recommend using JPlayer, since it uses HTML5 for Playback, but has a Flash-Fallback, in case the Browser doesn’t support HTML5 yet.
