Thanks Dan and Ash. I've tried object tag, it crashed my firefox. The audio.php file generates a simple following html. You need media player plugin to test it. The web server http://www.myweb.com/audio.php is my home server. Let me further discribe the problems, it is not the embed tag problem, it is the source in the embed tag does not download to the browser (In fact, I've tried the object tag as Ash suggested, the object tag crashed firefox): (1) If I open following audio.html directly from "Open File" file:///home/webserver/audio.html, the embed tag works just fine, the audio can play. The /home/webserver is the directory where all applications audio.php and audio.mp3 are stored. (2) If I open from http://www.myweb.com/audio.php, the audio.mp3 does not download to firefox. Nothing is played. <html> <embed src="audio.mp3" autostart="1"></embed> </html> Thanks.
