Hi Al,

I would expect an HTML problem on your site. A URL would help us help

you to sort it out.

Actually, I took it down because it won't work 


>From the above link, NN or IE will load the animation and sound. 


I downloaded the page, and made  no changes to it, and IE wil no 

longer load it, but NN will still load it. Same if I post it on my 

website. 


Another quirk. 


When IE-5 loads a page, there is an icon beside the url-usually a 

white page icon. 


In the Webmonkey case, it is RED-perhaps because it is a 

multimedia page, or contains mm. It is red at the wm site. But after 

I download the page, and preview it, it is no longer a red icon. It is 

white. 


Perhaps, if time permits, you could download the page, or any 

other, probably, and see if it still works in IE. Thanks. AL Lyman

PS-I suspect the filenames in the Object tag is the culprit. They 

are of course there, at WM, but when I download the page, I am 

linking to them??? 


Here the WM code, from the public lessons. It works in NN-not in 

IE, on my computer.
