Mystery loss of mp3 on web page

This is wierd. I have a web page that included an Mp3 music
file. When
I checked it today the "Player" was gone. I checked my HTML
codes and
the code is still listed and where it was when all was
working. I
haven't changed anything The code I use is:
<embed scr="filename.mp3" autostart="false" loop="false"
height="40"
width="140">
Like I said, it's still listed but no "Player". Any ideas?
Thanks, Joe

>>I have a web page
Got a URL?

MP3 player on a web page?

I'm looking for a way to offer an MP3 to be played from a web
page, with a
player of some kind. In other words, I don't want to just
link to the MP3
and have it play in the user's default player, but have a
player on the page
with controls for playing the audio file. I don't need a
"jukebox", but just
a simple player for 1 file.
Any suggestions? (I know that Google is my friend, and we
have been spending
time together on this question, but it's not as good a friend
as live people
with experience. :-))

Mp3 as background audio on web page does not play in ff 3.6.22 It does play in IE why?

I am building a web page. When I was editing the page and clicked on browser review, the music I was playing in the background played in ff 3.6.22 and in IE 7. When I uploaded the page to the web for testing, the background music played in IE7 but not ff 3.6.22.
The url for the test page is [http://dj-group.org/efm/saints.html testpage] http://dj-group.org/efm/saints.html
In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated my plugins, all but one successfully. Java would not install because an error message said there was a syntax error. (Since I ran the installer from the Firefox download screen and not through the command line, I tried to contact Java only to find out that the only way I can get help is to pay $1/minute. This is ridiculous.)
The test page still works in IE but not ff
Please help

Somehow in the process of updating my plugins, Windows Media got deleted. I reinstalled Windows Media and it's ok.
But I would like to know what to do about the Java

No Web Pages on WRT54GL - Big Mystery

Here’s a good one for someone to try to figure out
Issues
1> Unable to view web pages on x2 PC's
2> Unable to remote desktop from PC no1 to PC no2 but can do this the other way around.
3> Unable to access the router’s config pages locally at http://192.168.1.1
Current Set-up
PC no1 = Win XP
PC no2 = Win 2003 Server
Cable DSL - with Virgin Provider - Internet port on the router
Router = Linksys WRT54GL
Ø       Port 1 – PC no1
Ø       Port 2 – PC no2
Ø       Port 3 – HP Printer
Ø       Port 4 – Nothing
I bought a WRT54GL a few days ago, set this up with no problems. I connected the DSL to the Router, then PC no1, then Pc no2, then printer. Got internet access & local network connectivity on all PC's.
Then my power supply blew up on PC no2. I upgraded the motherboard & replaced the PSU. I then tried connecting this back onto the network through the router. No web sites through Internet explorer. Just "This Page Can Not Be Displayed" I also tried Opera & Firefox browsers & ran the internet connection wizard.
I turned the router off & tried setting everything up again but now I have issues with PC no1 not being able to see web pages as well
I tried browsing to http://192.168.1.1 (routers config pages) on both PC's but I get "This Page Can Not Be Displayed". I can ping 192.168.1.1 fine. I turned DHCP off on PC no1 & gave it a static IP of 192.168.1.103 & gave PC no2 192.168.1.104 Still no luck.
Now here's the weird thing. I can ping each PC from one another but I can only remote desktop from PC no2 (server) to PC no1 (Win XP). If I try to do this the other way around it just takes forever & then times out with no error. I can also browse files on the C: drive of each PC from the other PC.
I tried my cable modem straight in to PC no1 & this works fine. Then in PC no2 & again this works fine so I definitely have a router issue. Now here's another weird thing, I cant connect to my router locally on http://192.168.1.1 but I can connect to it remotely using https://82.38.145.136:1981 .On the very same PC I can access the router remotely I am unable to ping the router address of 82.38.145.136
Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on??

Ok back to basics, I reset the router, un-plugged the cable DSL modem & started from scratch
Powered on the DSL modem after 30 secs
Plugged this into the router
Enabled DHCP on both PC's by taking out the static IP's from each network connection.
Now got this sucker working on the server Box - internet working fine but still having problems on the Win XP Pro box.
I booted the Win XP box on the 2nd OS (Win XP Por 64 Bit - clean install) & it worked fine so my gues is the Win XP Pro OS is screwed.
I did an IP config on the Win XP Pro box & got 192.254.123.127
===============================================
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Unable to renew the Ip address - media state disconnected
===============================================
If I remove DHCP & give the XP Pro box a manual IP of 192.167.1.100 I can see the other server PC, remote desktop to it & all the rest but I cant connect to the internet or get onto the router at http://192.168.1.1
me think format time is upon us!!!!
Gandalf - I would have upgraded the firware but I'm very wary of this. The last Linksys router I flashed caused constant issues, same with motherboards Ive flashed. They've never been right since.
Can anyone offer a solution to this dilema with the IP?? its obvious it wont work with a 192.254xxx.xxx address but whay is it giving me this when it gives the right address on the Server Box?? Am I right in thinking the router is the DHCP server?

Can not open my web page?

Installed my new 2T unit 5 days ago, it was fine till this afternoon. I can not open web page or connect to internet. (wired or wirelessly)
No issue with my cable modem as i tested by pluging wire direct from the modem.
"Green" light in front is OK, i have to unplug power and plug power back in after 10 sec to restore the unit to function again.
I read about the new time capsule will loss connections over time, wonder if anyone has experienced this problem in the past?

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Can Virtual PC access the web pages served by my Mac?

Macs are really awesome for web design. Really wonderful. Sooner or later, though, you run into this one little nagging issue: 85% of the ever-lovin' public uses IE 6. So, you gotta test all your stuff on IE 6 before you release it.
So. I've just installed XP Pro on Virtual PC 7.0.2 running on OS X 10.4.7. I've got the internet connection working by turning on virtual switch networking, which the program warned me probably wouldn't work with my wireless network (but seems to). The internet connection did not work until I turned this on.
While doing web development, I turn on Personal Web Sharing and preview my pages by accessing them through http://localhost/. I should be able to access pages served from my Mac from other computers on my network by typing in the IP address shown in System Preferences. Indeed, this has always worked in the past, but from separate computers. My theory is that the virtual PC is a computer on the same network as its host, but when I try to access my Mac's IP from Internet Explorer, it doesn't work. Other web pages work, just not the ones served off my Mac.
I literally have changed no settings within Windows. The only thing I've changed in VPC is the virtual switch networking thing.
ipconfig says this:
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : domain.actdsltmp
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.107
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
And the TCP/IP prefpane says this:
IP Address: 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
So...looks good, right? Yet it's broken. I'm at a loss. Does anyone know if this is possible at all?
Thanks,
-Ryan

hi there,
sorry I cannot answer the reason why, but I have the same problem.
I initially made my website in iweb version 1.x and when I bought the new copy of iweb updated the site to iweb 08
however since doing so, the minute it was uploaded, I got emails saying that my website had crashed peoples computers and it was slow, something that I had never had before
having updated the domain to iweb08 I couldnt go back, so rebuilt the site in iweb06 - and since never had a complaint since.
However forgetting why I decided against using iweb08 to produce my site, when I got my new mac, I recreated my website from scratch in iweb08
within a couple of hours of uploading the new site, I can various emails saying that the site was crashing peoples computers and again the site was slow, yet I was only upgrading the site, using the same basis for the iweb08
anyway have gone back to my iweb06 and asked the people that had the problems to try again and low and behold the website is working a dream
Could someone shed light on why iweb08 creates so many problems for the people viewing the site.
I viewed the site okay in mozilla firefox, but is does seem to be an issue with PC's and also IE
I have iweb 2.0.4 currently as its a new imac, and 1.1.2 on my macbook
the site is with 1and1

Web pages not accessible ( timeout)

I am at a complete loss with a problem that I am having with a server that I want to use as a web server, and I am hoping that someone may have some ideas on what is going on.
I have 5 Xserves doing various things however the one that I need to use as a web server is giving me grief.
Background: Servers are behind a University firewall. Web Server is Xserve G5 running 10.4.11, other services running on this machine are DNS, OD, NetBoot, and File Sharing. URL http://commarts.uws.edu.au
The problem that I have is that web pages are timing out and are not visible from the web (external to the university) but they work fine via the local network. The first thing that I thought of was obviously the universities firewall but I have been assured that port 80 is open for all of these servers. I have confirmed this by doing a port scan from home on each one. Interestingly all servers do have port 80 open but only one is actually accessible from the web when the service is turned on. All others just time out when they are accessed.
I have thought that this could be a DNS issue but the server that IS accessible from the web is getting its name from the DNS server, which is the one that I want to be seen, so at a guess this should count out DNS? Is it possible that it could be an external DNS issue???
The only other thing that I can think of is that there is something wrong with the web configuration but I really don't know where to start looking at that.
Does anyone have any other ideas about what may be going? This is something that I really need to sort out.
Best regards,
Darren

Do you have multiple sites on that server? If yes. make sure none of them has performance cache enabled.
Failing that, check if it works from other subnets inside your university networks, not just your local network.
Also, check if you are using OS X Server's firewall. If yes, make sure it allows traffic to port 80 from any address.

The app store on my iPad looks like a broken web page?

Hi! First, let me apologise if this is in the wrong ocation. If it is, please move the thread. Thanks! (Sorry.)
Now only the problem...
I'm no newb to technology so I'll do what I can to explain this. It's an intermittent and unusual issue, basically, and what happens is that for most of the day the app store looks like a broken web page (like CSS and images aren't loading), and I can only access it normally every now and then. But here's where it gets weird.
The PC iTunes is fine (both web and application) and loads images, behaves normally, and so on. No issues there. All sites are accessible, and I have no trouble reaching Apple servers (I've run latency checks).
What I've also tried:
- Rebooting my router (multiple times).
- Closing all apps on the iPad (including the store) then trying the app store (as the only app open).
- Rebooting the iPad, then trying again.
- Signing out of the store, rebooting the iPad, and signing in before trying again.
- Doing the above step but with all apps closed first.
- Browsing on the iPad (via Maven and Safari), both are fine. No weird Internet issues.
What boggles the mind is that the PC iTunes and web version of the app store works. I mean, if I go to the web app store and look at the page for a game, I get images of the game. If I use my iPad, I get the border of the image with a [?] icon in it. (As I said, it looks like a broken web page where CSS and images just aren't loading.)
Sometimes, but more rarely, I'll have trouble connecting to the store.
And occasionally (but even more rarely) it behaves just fine.
If it wasn't for the intermittent nature of it I'd be convinced that I'd somehow corrupted the app store on the iPad somehow. But the more I think about it the more I wonder if this is my ISP somehow being ridiculous despite the web/PC application working. And currently I'm really at a loss. It's worse because when I want to sit down and browse the app store to buy some things, I can't. So this is stopping me from giving Apple money.
It might just be my ISP though. My ISP is Surfwise, if it helps. As I said, no other Internet issues at all.

Boo. I can't edit. Sorry...
I also want to note that my iPad is -not- rooted and is quite new. And also that it's a third generation iPad.

Print / Export on web page no longer works for Crystal Report

I am honestly at a loss, for days, the report would allow me to click on the printer icon and print to PDF or export the result of the report, but now, all I get is a blank page when the page refreshes. It no longer asks me for print range or anything. I thought this might be a IE 6 setting, but after reviewing the settings and placing the site in my trusted sites list, I still can't print.Is there a web.config setting I need to know about to make sure that export and print are enabled?
I get no error messages at all, it is as if the button is broke, but I have no way to troubleshoot the innerworkings of crystal xi r2 buttons on the web page. If I could just step though the script it uses that would atleast let me see what is going on, but right now, I am stuck.
Thanks for your help ahead of time.

I've went a bit farther than that, I created a virtual directory and placed the aspx file (and its associated ascx and designer files) into that folder along with the report, then I placed a basic web.config file with only crystal required elements within that folder. I disconnected that version of the viewing page from the master web file so that it no longer used a master file, I setup the assembly register at the top under the control section, then I placed the viewer and source on that page. Same end result, the report shows but when clicking on any option, the page is blank but source shows that there is javascript there. My report is not autobound, it is programatically generated from a click of a button.
These were my assumptions:
1) when the report is generated, it is on the page and the session information has everything it needs to know about the report
2) when an option is selected, either clicking on the tree, the zoom, the print or export (or other options), that the view information is passed back during the postback event to the controls so that the report would not have to be regenerated
What I am finding out, at the very least through trials, is that an autobound report, the controls work, but a manual bound report, the pages are blank after selection of any of the listed javascripted items. On top of that, the only time that this seems to be working on a manual bound page is that the page can contain nothing but the report and that the report must be rebuilt on page_load event. Which is not good.
What 'should' be the desired design, is that Crystal writes to a session variable, the report data so that on a post back event, it understands what we want without having to do a full report reload. This would be optional of course because in its current design, each event triggered causes a repost of new data and never last pulled information, so that if there was a change in records, the event pulls the most up to date information. This is not documented anywhere that I have found for web design.
So then, another problem along the same lines has arrisen. As you say, Crystal doesn't play well with AJAX, but AJAX is a requirement for the project and I need to have a progress bar for the report since ultimately the page is waiting on the report to show. Depending on the report and the postback, this could be a while, If it takes a minute for the initial view of the report to show, all events on the page will trigger a full refresh of the report and subsequent pulls will take the same time since the controls don't allow for 'use posted data' instead of 'pull new data'.
Taking your suggestion, I removed the view from the panel and placed it above the panel control. At this point, the tree node script works, the zoom script works, all of the controls in the control colection on the report work, except export and print, those two still do not work. This is with me also placing the call to the buildreport on page_load event.
What is even more troubling, is that not until I had removed the UpdatePanel and UpdateProgress controls from the page completely did the export or print work at all. With the fact those two exist anywhere on the page in general causes a problem. Again, not a desired result. I need a live visual effect for the user that something is going on because some of the reports take seconds while others can take minutes depending on the pull and they need to know that 'something' is going on.
Removing UpdatePanel and UpdateProgress is not an option.

Web page music loads in IE but not Firefox. Have downloaded Windows Media Player Firefox plug in but still nothing. Any other suggestions?

Can't get any sound when I open one webpage in Firefox but sound works in Internet Explorer. sound files are .wmv and mp3 format.
I have Windows Media Player Firefox Plug in installed and set to always activiate. Also have Quicktime & Shockwave activated. Any suggestions. Operating system is Windows 7. Thanks

There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
Select the following long line of code and copy it:
function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.

Not able to view my web pages in Safari

I am having problems viewing my web pages in the Safari browser and wondered if anyone can help solve the mystery?
The site was created in iWeb '08, and was loaded to .Mac. I did not want the site to be hosted on .Mac as I already have a domain, but the CNAME process that is described by .Mac is not supported by my hosting service, so I had to ask my hosting service (Freeola) to route the service to their servers and provide masking so the .Mac address would not show in the browser bar.
This works absolutely fine in Firefox and the page loads up without a problem.
However, when I enter the site address in the Safari browser, the name appears in the bar, and then the blue progress bar does 2 sweeps and then a blank page appears, but with the site mame at the top of the window. If I click the cursor on any point on the bank page, a grey horizontal line appears, and then disappears, but still no opening page!
I cannot work out whether this is an issue with the original coding in iWeb '08 and a compatability issue with Safari ( I am using v2.0.4 on all my 3 machines, and the problem is the same), or it's something to do with the way my hosting service is routing the site.
I have asked others to view the site on PC's using IE, and they do not seem to have a problem so far.
I am not a web designer, and know absolutely nothing about writing code and HTML, hence using the simplicity of iWeb, but this seems a strange thing to happen. If I enter the original .Mac site hosting address in Safari, the site shows up just fine!!
Has anybody else had this type of problem?? Any help would be gratefully received, as this thing is driving me crazy!!

Further to my earlier post, I have just read an entry noting that if you already own a domain name, and ask your hosting service to forward and mask your iWeb '08 created, web.mac.com site to your personal domain, chances are that due to the masking of the site on web.mac.com, Safari browsers interpret the masking as being the end of the site, and as such, just return a blank page?
This may explain the problem. However, call me old fashioned, and possibly a little naive, but surely this cannot be the problem?? It's OK in Firefox!

Cannot access certain web pages using ANY browser (when other systems can)

(As [BDAqua|http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=528118] noted, this issue may be separate from [that which Alexander Solo is experiencing|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1467311], though many aspects are the same or very similar. I've mostly copied my original post in that thread to this new one).
I'm having trouble accessing a handful of particular web pages/domains, from my Mac Mini G4, using Safari (latest), Firefox (latest), Camino, Opera, Mozilla, IE, OmniWeb... I've tried every browser I have. It's really a problem as I'm taking a course in Web App Development now where we need to be able to access a course site which uses the code we are learning... and I can't because the page just doesn't load. There are lots of other students in the program using Macs, even members of the course team... I'm the only one who can't load that page.
Anyway, a seemingly-random few sites just don't load for me, consistently... some of them are important to me, others not so, but one is critical and it's been driving me bonkers. It's not a router issue, since it doesn't matter where I'm plugged into the router and my wife's Dell notebook (Vista) accesses any of these pages (when she has it here). A friend of mine was also able to access them, both from his house and plugged into the same router as I was, at the same time (Dell notebook/XP Pro).
A few of the pages that won't load:
[https://telemat.open.ac.uk/ssl-logons/tt380mf/tt380_login.cfm]
(The course web page... other https pages at the Open University load fine, though, so it doesn't seem to be an https issue.)
http://www.hotmail.com quickly redirects twice, stopping at:
[http://login.live.com/?id=2] ... and then does nothing... I don't use Hotmail, but my wife sometimes tries to access it (or was trying) if she leaves her notebook at work.
I also can't load any page on the versiontracker website:
[http://www.versiontracker.com] ... that is really a drag for me.
There are a few, seemingly random, other sites that just don't load and haven't been loading for about a couple of months now. I don't know if I might have installed some bad app or something (I've checked and my system is negative for the DNSChanger trojan... not that I've ever visited pr0n sites... ).
The problem has persisted through re-boots of the system and the router. I've tried booting from a firewire backup drive (I believe that one was still pre-security-release 2008-002, but otherwise nearly the same) and the problem persisted in all browsers. I've tried terminating processes that I didn't think were necessary to be running. I've tried fixing permissions, running diagnostic/repair apps, anything and everything I could think of. When attempting to find a solution on Google, I found a number of other mainstream news sites and such which also didn't load (at all), even after several minutes, but I haven't ; and of course trying to find mention of the problem in a Google search yields waaay too many irrelevant hits to have yielded an answer. I'm starting to suspect malware, since the problem doesn't make any sense and, if a culprit wrote something to do this, in addition to the "random" sites, they might block certain sites where we might find answers. I found a few more sites which didn't load (news sites and such) when I was doing a run through what Google could come up with. One of significance was:
[CNET's news.com domain|http://www.news.com> ... Though I haven't had a chance to have another local user check, it seems to fit the pattern of the others (doesn't load in Safari or Firefox, etc) and doesn't load even if I use the IP address: [216.239.113.101|216.239.113.101]
In short: It sounds like just the same [problem Alexander Solo is having|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1467311], except that I can access the site he can't, so it's not a situation where we can say "technology x is running on these sites and our pre-Intel Macs don't like it."
In short, I've tried everything I could think of to troubleshoot this problem (drive utilities, searches for known malware, terminating unnecessary processes, re-starting my system and router... so any help or ideas would be most appreciated.

I should add something which may indicate that I'm experiencing two separate issues: when it comes to news.com, versiontracker.com and other sites I've been unable to access, it's never seemed to matter whether I try to access a particular page on the site or the site root.
In the case of my course website, however, I'm able to at least partially load the course chair's (more-or-less empty) "home page" at the site root. It may be that packets from other people trying to access the site are not following anything like the same route, but I really know very little about all that. I had anticipated being completed moving to Bristol (England) by now (most of the other students on this "correspondence" course are in England), but my Mac is still sitting in Frankfurt, Germany. In any case, what loads of the site root, loads verrrrry slowly. Following is output of an attempted "traceroute" to the IP (a second attempt followed the same pathway with similar results):

I'm no "IT-guy", so I'm not really sure how to interpret what's happening, but I'm *beginning to suspect* this could be *related (similar in some way) to [the issues some Mac users were having accessing the Crate and Barrel website*|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1400045&start=50&tst art=0] (before Crate and Barrel resolved things on their end).
I'm also beginning to suspect that the *versiontracker.com and news.com siteload issues are related* to each other as I've found I can get successful ping (0% loss) and traceroute results, even if neither site loads in my browsers.
Following is the *traceroute for versiontracker.com* (which I see, now, is also a CNet-hosted site):

Since my wife's (Vista) Dell notebook can access these sites from the same router (and I was able too for a while), I'm beginning to suspect that the issues may have started with my update to OS X 10.4.11 or the first security update. It has been quite a while since we've successfully been able load Hotmail (in any browser) on this machine. My smug "Mac guy" superiority is taking a serious hit with these issues...

How do you embed ePub3 in a web page using 'embed code'?

I have an epub3 that i desperately need to embed onto my web page.
I am using Weebly who allow for embed code on the web page, and also have a code editor where you can upload files.
Is it easy enough to somehow upload the mp3's that are in my epub, and then explode the epub and simply copy and paste this html code into the embed code function from weebly?
This is what I have found so far, but I am no code expert!
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7419205/how-do-you-embed-an-epub-in-a-web-page

That is an interesting question. Since epub3 is based on everything that a web page is made of and is often called a web page in a box, I doubt that current browsers can show the document. Browsers are only now catching up with showing an SVG image. I suppose that, if an epub3 reader is available on the client, it should theoretically be possible. Think of a Word or a PDF document.
IMHO, the best way out is to convert the book into a PDF format.

How Do I Play Embedded MP4 In Web Page

I have an MP4 video (.mp4) that I would like to embed in my
web page, so that when a user goes to the page, the correct Flash
Player (v9 update 3?) is detected or installed automatically (via
user prompt) and then plays the MP4 video. I can't seem to find an
HTML sample to give me the correct OBJECT and EMBED statement for
doing so, along with the JS for the Flash Player version detection.
Could someone please provide sample HTML for this? Thanks!

Adobe Reader for iPad has no support for MP3 or video files. You would need to use a paid PDF reader like PDF Expert.
