Many thanks for your reply.

I have persevered by deleting parts of the webpage in my editor and re-doing them. As far as I can see the links were fine but I re-did them several times just to be sure. I had typed the track names into the page by cutting and pasting from a Word document but I deleted that and typed straight into the editor. That seems to have solved the IE problem.

Actually most of the problems are fixed, except the occasional time when the button does not show up against one particular track in Firefox. It’s ok for other browsers. It’s an intermittent problem but I can live with it. If the button does not show, then users can click on the hypertext link ok.

Thanks again.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/yhoomediaplayer/ is the best place for this kind of help. Your questions here cover a lot of ground, definitely out of scope for the kind of tech support I do. When you post, it’s important to give the URL of your page, so that we can take a look at it.

Off the cuff answers:

#1: not showing tracks could mean something related to markup or something related to display. but you have much control over the playlist, yes… See http://yahoomediaplayer.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_link

#2: play button not showing is some conflict between your local CSS and the player’s. Definitely going to need to take out a debugger to solve it.

#3: HTML coding showing up in IE is completely no ok. that’s a live and high priority bug of some kind. but I’m sure there’s more to it than meets the eye.

you’re seeing a lot more problems than you should be. Not sure if it means that Y is completely abandoning the project or that your pages have a more complexity than ordinary, e.g. conflicting versions of YUI. Friends still at Yahoo tell me that it’s really not abandoned, fwiw.

I’ve just installed YMP and it’s great but I have a few problems:
1. The playlist does not show all the tracks that I have installed and it also shows the name of the mp3 file instead of the entry that should be there. Can I somehow edit the playlist?
2. The play button does not show up next to one track listing on the webpage using Firefox. It’s ok for the others. If I recycycle the page it shows up but as soon as I move the cursor it disappears again. If I click where the button should be it works ok. Only a problem on Firefox.
3. In general the page shows up ok in Firefox, Chrome, & Safari but I get a whole heap of html coding show up on IE, mixed in with the track names and play buttons. Is there some way I can get rid of this in IE without affecting the other browsers or am I stuck with this?

I have gone to my page editor several times and tried to fix things without success. Any help much appreciated.

var YMPParams =
{
autoplay:true,
}

..but it would not work. In fact it keeps disappearing. The old code was:

It would play either a page or a single mp3 (as you know)…so I am assuming that the browser won’t read the css looking code. I don’t know.
I tried to modify it a little by saying ‘playthissong’..but it computer snickered. LOL

Is there an equivalent embed code to the one you gave me? I hope I am not getting on your nerves with all these questions.

Thank You,

Edie
