Thanx
I have been using id’s that exist elsewhere on the website on the principle that not knowing how they work, known working ones should do the job.
Sadly there was a level of erratic uncertainty and it has not been usable.
I will try generating numbers of the same digit length.
Meanwhile I have succeeded in substituting the player for the HTML5 version resident in modern browsers. Long-term this is all I need but until I can be sure that the majority of surfers have the latest stuff I wanted to maintain Flash compatibility. Hence the question.
I go look. I may be some time!
BTW I have been changing the page as I find new work-arounds.Forum: Reviews

plus usual plugins loaded at installation (eg MP3-jPlayer 1.8.4)By putting it in the header it also appears above the Dashboard (etc) which at least informs on the look (and feel which is highly inappropriate).

In reply to: Help. URL Change site lossnow there’s a funny thing, I copied and pasted the URL from the e-mail to reply & I got this thread not the one I had posted to.
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/help-url-change-site-loss?replies=8#post-5309750
here I am again. didn’t change anything. Curious.
I wanted to change the domain name while keeping the files & locations the same. Reading http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_The_Site_URL sort of helped. I changed the “home” URL and promptly was asked to log in again. Passwords no longer worked. Request a new password and it worked. BUT now my “home” URL is http://stroudvoices.co.uk but all the URLs for individual pages still references the old dommain (sub of legacy eg http://stories.stroudfm.co.uk )
My questions
1) would be – if I changed the “site” URL now will this resolve itself to be more logical? eg all based on the new domain.
2) Am I in for a “not quite so this time” shock of changing the password again?Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: dynamic page based on serach terms – ideas pleaseI will leave the pave up for a while, this is the HTML I used:

In reply to: dynamic page based on serach terms – ideas pleaseWell I just did a test page using an IFRAME source linked to http://cresby.com which is full of JavaScript on the home page and it proved 100% successful. Provided I made the area large enough, and ignored the way the links on that homepage behave – they were designed for “top” not “self”.
So I will be writing code in JavaScript on a remote page.
Problem will be solved but not via WordPress per se.There may be a better way, but the way I can see is best for me.

If I have to learn PHP I might just do the thing in JavaScript.
It is not obvious what the code can do entirely. To make it access my TAGs is a big ask.I will post back if I achieve anything.
I have traced the source of my own problems. Firefox has never had Flash installed/updated by me. In fact none of the plug-ins were activated, by choice. So SC player thinks that Flash exists, and assumes it works. By disabling Flash (& other things I don’t want) SC assumes there is no Flash.
Is the detection of Flash that ambiguous? I would have thought there were flags/properties that could identify that.
My take is that there will be few surfers who will think like me.
But I will be putting a caveat on the website. FF plays OK now, but I have installed another player to play with its Look&Feel. It doesn’t know if Flash is “not activated” either!
IE has Flash.I am currently asking people to try it on the priciple they have the mix of browser/OS/Plugin combos. I will report back in a while
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Webmail/contact that allows varied destination addressesguess not!
Works on all major browsers – IE7, IE8, IE9, Safari, Firefox, Chrome
it says, but the caveat is: it doesn’t fallback to HTML5. If they are the only options I do need to have it automatically choose a workable option. Legacy browsers most likely have Flash, FF may not, but modern FF has HTML5. Covers the ground, if automatic.
As I surmised. Does this answer anyone elses question?
Now mine:
Are we locked-in to client-side plugins &/or HTML5 or are there server-side solutions that don’t need to assume the surfer has either of the above?TIA
found this line in plug-in set-up
soundManager.useFlashBlock = true; // optional - if used, required flashblock.css
& this JavaScript (Presume ClientSide)ontimeout: function() { // SM2 could not start. Missing SWF? Flash blocked? Show an error. alert('Error! Audio player failed to load.');Is it using Flash? I don’t in FF – only in IE.
Is this the cause? If it is a setting in FF it still has to work for everyone.
