Audio plays in iWeb, not in Safari

Question

Hello all,
I had done a little page in iWeb with an audio file, but in QTPro, so it was about 14 megs as a .mov.
Since I had not tried any compressing or exporting of audio files, I published it to iWeb with that 14 meg audio file.
It worked very well, a few friends checked it out for me - and we found it took very long to load, so I set out to learn compression.
I converted it to MPEG4 and got it nicely down to 2.6 megs.
Tonight I deleted, in iWeb 1.1.1, the original ,mov file, and I dragged in the smaller MPEG4 file.
It works great in iWeb, but when I publish, then visit the site, the audio loads and that is about it -- it just sits there, cannot be clicked to play at all. My husband tried it too, and nothing.
I need to know why it suddenly won't play on the little webpage. If I could do it successfully once, why not twice? It is an MPEG4 thing? I really do want a smaller audio file if possible...
Thanks for any help!

You know what I just noticed? Your movie/quicktime audio controller is all the way down past the footer area of the page (where the next and previous buttons live). Try dragging the quicktime box so that it does not extend or overlap into the footer. You may have to adjust the values for page content in the Inspector under the page tab. I think this may solve your problem.
Alternatively, I suppose you could "shorten" the width of the next and previous link boxes so that they do not overlap the quicktime controller. But for cleanliness, the content should not extend into the footer area.
If any of this has been helpful to you, please consider marking my individual replies as either "helpful" or "solved" with the little buttons in the title bars of each reply. Thanks.
