Am out and about so can only check my iPad at the moment, but a whole lot of them show up for me so I think it's working.

Try clearing your browser cache and refresh the site and see if that fixes it for you.

Yup, I'm seeing about 30
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi Marvin,

Since you are using some HTML5 elements, e.g. <audio>, you need to replace this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

with this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

You also need to move the CC FB head section code (lines 30 to 34) from the <body> to the <head>. Also remove <head> on line 28.

At the bottom of your code, you need to remove </head> and replace it with:

</body>
</html>

Despite all this, the page actually works fine on Firefox. Go figure...

You still have quite a few html errors in your code. Take a look at this:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% … mp;group=0

Before you made the changes, there were 153 errors. This has now dropped to 69, so at least things are moving in the right direction! ;)

You have 18 opening <div>s but only 16 closing </div>s so there are 2 unclosed divs somewhere that you need to find.

You should probably also double check your exported code from the CC Form Builder. I don't think the <body>-part is supposed to start with a <style> tag, as an example.

The page still works fine in Firefox, including all the audio sections. Not so in Chrome, though, which locks up. This is probably due to the cascading html errors, which make everything unpredictable.

I just noticed another thing. Music track number 7, which is the first one that doesn't work in most of the browsers, has a comma (",") in the mp3 file name. You also have spaces in all the file names, which is another no-no. You need to change all your mp3 file names and replace the spaces with dashes ("-") and most definitely remove the comma(s) wherever they may appear!
You also have a number of apostrophes in file names. Get rid of those also!
