[dba-Tech] Web Site Problem

Stuart:

So it sounds like if the target browser does not have my fabulous Crackhouse
font there's no way that user is ever going to see my stuff displayed in
Crackhouse.  Yes?   I'm thinking now I could somehow convert the text into a
jpg and drop that onto the page.  That would work, yes?

Here, I think, is the code for the link.  I say I think because I have no
idea what I'm doing here.  Just pushing buttons on the black box until I
gfet the behavior I want:

<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t202"
 coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="202" path="m,l,21600r21600,l21600,xe">
 <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/>
 <v:path gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/>
</v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_s1028" type="#_x0000_t202" alt=""
style='position:absolute;
 left:21pt;top:174.75pt;width:544.5pt;height:90pt;z-index:1' filled="f"
 strokecolor="red">
 <v:textbox>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" height="100%">
	<tr>
		<td align="center"><a
href="Knocking%20On%20Heaven's%20Door.wav">
		<font size="5" color="#FFFF00"><span style="font-family:
Crackhouse">
		Click to h</span></font></a><a style="font-family:
Crackhouse; color: #FFFF00; font-size: 18pt"
href="Knocking%20On%20Heaven's%20Door.wav">ear 
		a Track from ChuckStock I - Hit 'N' Run's Debut
Performance - August 
		2006</a><p><font color="#FFFF00"><span style="font-family:
Crackhouse">
		Link may not work in all browsers.</span></font></td>
	</tr>
</table>
 </v:textbox>
</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;position:
absolute;z-index:1;left:27px;top:232px;width:732px;height:126px'><img
width=732 height=126 src="index5_files/image001.gif"
v:shapes="_x0000_s1028"></span><![endif]>

Mean anything to you? In IE the wav file opens the player.  I'm also
wondering if the file can play from the web site instead of opening in real
player or windows media player or whatever the target player is.  I've seen
sites where you can click a link to play some music and it doesn't open up
in the local player.

T&R

A Browser can only display fonts which are installed on the machine it is
run on.  If using a non-standard font, you should specify alternates which
most users are likely to have, including a final "generic" such as serif,
sans-serif,cursive, fantasy or monospaced.

Where none of the specified fonta  are available, the Browser will use
whatever has been set as the default for the above generics. 
These defaults  can be set by the user.  In Firefox, look at Tools-
Content-Fonts&Colors-Advanced.

Links generally work fine in FireFox.
Either there is something strange about the HTML or the PC in 
question has a problem handling wav files.  How about posting the 
HTML?
