As you know, I'm having more problems with my
CAPTCHA experiment, so back to basics. (as my mum
used to say "No good deed goes unpunished."

I need your review. All you have to do is to test
if the following links produce sound as indicated
in the browsers you have?

Link one:

http://www.sperling.com/a/a1/index.php

Clicking "Zero" should produce the sound "Zero"
and leave your browser cold -- it will probably
leave it showing a player of some sort.

XP/IE7: opens up windows media player, plays 0.au which says "Zero"
Linux/Firefox: opens 0.au with /usr/lib/mime/playaudio, sound is only
noise


Link two:

http://www.sperling.com/a/a1/index1.php

Clicking "Zero" should produce the sound "Zero"
and then bring your browser back to the original
page.

XP/IE7: works fine
Linux/Firefox: tells me I have to install some plugin, then redirects to
the original page


Link three:

http://www.sperling.com/a/a1/index2.php

Clicking "Zero" should produce the sound "Zero"
and then "One" and then bring your browser back
to the original page.

XP/IE7: works fine
Linux/Firefox: redirects ok, but needs plugin as above


it's probably an issue that it needs plugin to play .au files, I am not
an expert in browser audio ;)
if so, please tell me what plugin to install and I can try again with
that

hope that helps

For me, all the above sounds work, except for
Opera 9.0 for the Mac -- it works for "Link one"
but does not work for "Link two" and "Link three".

IE 5.2 for the Mac needs a refresh to jump start
it. In other words, the very first time for "link
two" and "link three" I have to do it twice to
get it to work.

Take your time -- no rush on this. I just need to
know what browsers work and which don't.

Thanks for your help.
