Body
I am experiencing some strange behavior of embedded audio (wav file) on HTML page. I've got a page <code>https://server.com/listen-to-sound</code>, and a Wav file embedded in it via <code><EMBED/></code> tag, like this: <pre><code><embed src='https://server.com/path-to-sound' hidden="true" autostart="true" /> </code></pre> The page <code>https://server.com/listen-to-sound</code> is opened in IE 6 SP3 on machine#1 - the sound is played in the headphones. The same page is opened on another machine(#2), with exactly same IE 6 SP3 version, privacy and proxy settings - there's no sound. Totally, from 6 machines the sound is played on 2 and not played on 4. From these 4 machines, when the page <code>https://server.com/listen-to-sound</code> is opened in Opera, the sound is played. I've triple-checked headphone connections, volume settings and other possible hardware and software driver issues: the problem is definitely in IE settings. I've also checked <code>https://server.com/path.to.sound</code> URL - the 4 machnies that do not play sound fail to open this link, failing with an error like "Failed to download page". Cleaning IE caches, temporary internet files, SSL certificate caches did not solve the problem either. Googling gave me nothing special but old Flash trick to use <code><OBJECT></code> tag and <code><EMBED></code> tag to be written in Object's comments. What have I missed? Have you experienced similar or related problems? How were they solved? Do you have any suggestions on where the trick is? Do you know some IE "features" that might affect execution(playing, showing) of embedded objects?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
