What's strange? > I misread that, too. I thought it was pointing to the resource fetch algorithm and not the media element load algorithm. You're right - this part is fine. Incidentally, your test isn't complete. In my test file, I was actually setting the @src values of the <source> elements to resources that existed and then called the play() function. That activity should, IMO, work. All browser accept it, except for Opera, which never leaves step 21 because play() doesn't accept NETWORK_NO_SOURCE for re-running the resource selection algorithm. That was really my original problem. Cheers, Silvia. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
