The HTML5 audio controls in the audio elements on this page show and play just fine in every browser but IE. Can anyone enlighten me as to why they don’t show in IE?

    The answer is, IE apparently requires preload to be set to ‘auto’. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on this page and had forgotten that. Modern browsers do not need that and setting it to auto causes each file to download parts of the audio file. Something I do not want to happen till I can rewrite the page.

    IE is the worst browser on the planet.
