Hi, I'm trying to find out how to embed a sound clip in a question. My survey is hosted on the limesurvey site.

I'm using the editor in html mode ("source" button) and gave in the following html code:

<code class="php">Click to play sound.<br />
<br />
<br />
<embed height="20" width="128" autostart="FALSE" controls="console" loop="true"
volume="50" src="myspace.limequery.org/upload/surveys/88652/bear.wav"></embed>
<br />
<br />
<br />
</code>


When I switch back to normal mode in the editor (pressing "source" button again" I see:

______________________________
Click to play sound.

(and the green puzzle piece)
________________________________

After this I update my question and use the "preview" button to test run the question.

The following test appears:
____________________________________________________________________

Click to play sound.


bed width="128" height="20" src="myspace.limequery.org/upload/surveys/88652/bear.wav" volume="50" loop="true" controls="console" autostart="FALSE">

When I switch back to the source edit mode I see:

<code class="php">Click to play sound.<br />
<br />
<br />
<em><x>bed width="128" height="20" src="myspace.limequery.org/upload/surveys/88652/bear.wav"; volume="50" loop="true" controls="console" autostart="FALSE"> <br />
<br />
<br />
</x></em></code>

In the WYSIWG edit mode I see:

Click to play sound.


bed width="128" height="20" src="myspace.limequery.org/upload/surveys/88652/bear.wav" volume="50" loop="true" controls="console" autostart="FALSE">

Can anybody explain me what I'm doing wrong or provide me with a similar sample question I can adapt?

Thanks a lot!

For security reason you can't use some html element in your survey. You have to contact limeservice, you have a contact link in the limeservice menu when you are connected.

Thanks a lot!

would mu code work on most other servers?

This is not a problem of LimeService.
Just go to Global settings and deactivate the XSS filter on the tab 'Security' - after that it should accept the HTML (you will have to enter it again).

Hi Carsten,

The question now works as expected!

Herzlichen Dank!
