Same with FF. I'm a bit out of my depth with all the Javascripting.
I'll raise that
with the Japanesepod guys.

Yes, that happens when there is no clip. I'd really like some sort of
proper indication of whether there is a clipor not. Initially I aimed at
having all the clips on my server(s) and a file which I'd check to see
whether to put the blue button against the entry. Then the suppliers
suggested just fetching them from their site using the kanji/kana
as indices (if you look at the HTML you'll see how the dewplayer
addresses them). That's fine, but it's not much help if they're not
available.

Having them come from the Japanesepod site make my maintenance much simpler,
but I don't want users waiting for sounds that never happen. (They're
working on it..)

Thanks

Jim
