I just started to build a new site with Dreamweaver MX. I've been stumped with this problem for two weeks. I have a large site in mind and when I get stumped I cannot go farther into development causwe it blocks my train of thaught. Please help. My nave bar uses 3 images for each button. also it uses 2 sounds that are applied to all the buttons one for mouse over and one for on click. The sounds work perfectly on my other computers Internet Explorer 6 and on a few friends as well. The problem is that some users, that I have had look at it to help test it, say that it's opening up REAL PLAYER or Media Player to play the sounds. The first user had Real opening and he uninstalled it cause he didn't like it and then the nav bar worked on his computer. My main issue is to keep the site as low on bandwidth usage as possible and not to use a whole lot of flash, especially on buttons due to other users who don't update their plug-ins.
the code is really long but I hope you can decifer what my problem is.
here's the code:
