I have a website, in IE all my wav files played fine, but in firefox they never do play. How do I fix?
I have wav files that play when certain pages come up, but they do not work and never have in firefox. For example, dogs bark when you open up their personal pages. Or on some puppy pages a song plays in the background.

Your site is an MS Office document with VML code and you can see a lot of green comment code that only works in IE.
You need to export your code as W3C compliant HTML code in the editor and make sure that you disable VML.
Yes, I created my site using Microsoft Publisher. I realize this is probably considered archaic, but it's what I learned... I am very comfortable with it but of course it writes the code for me. Thank you for trying to help me, it's just I have no idea how to do any of what has been suggested. I don't know how to export W3C compliant code and don't know what that is. I don't know how to use an editor, do you mean notepad? I have used that, but only when I taught myself how to make a form and I did that by finding a sample on the internet, copy pasting into notepad and then reading through the code and figuring out just based on reading how to rewrite sections to suit my needs. I don't know what VML is either. So I'm afraid I may be a hopeless case. But maybe this is something I can do if there are directions. If I need to buy a different website program I have considered it but worry that my current site won't just copy and convert and I'd have to start from scratch. It was so much work, thinking about recreating it all makes me want to hide in my room! lol Thanks again though, if you think there is hope for me, let me know!
You don't need to buy anything, there are many free programs out there which will create web pages that can be viewed in all browsers.
Here are two programs that use Mozilla code as the base of the program.

VML is special code developed by MS for their Office programs. Only IE knows how to display such a file if you upload it to internet. All other browser ignore most of that code and only display some HTML code that is present.
