The station plays for me, using IE7. (No java. Also, you were mixing up
javascript with the java program.) It's probably an embedded Windows media
type of player. Did you have him try some other page? There is an option
in Internet Options, Advanced, Multimedia, Play sounds in Web pages, which
should of course be on. Does the new browser window open when he clicks on
the Listen Live link? If it doesnb't, then that's the source of the
problem. there is also a link called Stream. Has he tried that? Could his
firewall be blocking access to the New browser Window?

Subject: [VICUG-L] Internet Audio Question
Hello All:
I'm trying to help a client that is using Windows Internet Explorer 7.
He wants to be able to listen to www.foxnewstalk.com. When he goes to
the site, then presses enter on the Listen Live link, no audio comes up.
however, when I go to the same site running IE 7 and press enter on the
Listen Live link, I pick up the streaming audio.
It appears that when you press enter on the Listen Live link on this
site, it takes you to an html page which is probably running some sort
of Java applett. Sounds simple enough, right, just make sure my
client's IE 7 Java options are set up. Well, when I go into
tools->options from Internet Explorer 7 on my system, then ctrl-tab over
to advanced, I can find a list item that says (Java (sun) opened.
However, when we go to the same place on the client's machine, there is
no such Java (sun) opened item.
I went to tools->options in IE 7 on my system and tried disabling Sun
Java Console to see if I could re-create the problem. After doing this,
the Listen Live link at foxnewstalk.com still works for me.
Does anyone have any ideas of things we can try?
Thanks,
Ray Campbell, Help Desk Technician
