RE: how to play .wav file

Thanks for the replay, but I am not sure I get what you are saying. Let me
explain my problem more, and maybe you ca help me more. Thanks in advance.

I have a servlet that output an html file, in which I have a hyperlink to a
.wav file. The html code related to wav file embedded in the servlet code
looks something like this:
...
<table>
<tr>
<td><a href="audio/wavfile.wav"><img src="images/sound.gif"></td>
</tr>
...

>From what I read from books, when the image file is clicked, the wav file is
supposed to be played. And it indeed works that way with a personal web
server (that comes with MicroSoft FrontPage). But in the Jigsaw environment,
when the image file is clicked, it asks me whether I want to save the file.
If I say yes, the file is downloaded to my PC (NT running netscape) and no
audio is played. I will have to click on the .wav file on the PC to play it,
which is not acceptable user interface.

Do you know what's the problem? Any thing I need to configure/set? 

Thanks again.

		AFAIK Jigsaw tells the web browser that the file contains
audio by setting
		the mime-type (e.g. audio/x-wav ???).
		In Jigsaw, the default indexer needs (maybe it has it
already...) an entry "WAV"

		which sets the connect mime-type.

		Thats all...
