Q: Is the html5 Audio code below cross browser and robust? It occurs to 
me that if the browser does not like 'canplaytype' but nevertheless 
needs ogg, not MP3 then it will fail (I've tested in the newest versions 
of IE, Firefox, Opera and Chrome with no problems)

var audio1 = new Audio();

if (!!audio1.canPlayType && audio1.canPlayType('audio/ogg; 
codecs="vorbis"') != "") {
	//alert('ogg sounds');
	var	click1snd = new Audio("click1.ogg");
	var	incorrectsnd = new Audio("incorrect.ogg");
	var	correctsnd = new Audio("correct.ogg");
}else{
	//alert('mp3 sounds');
	var	click1snd = new Audio("click1.mp3");
	var	incorrectsnd = new Audio("incorrect.mp3");
	var	correctsnd = new Audio("correct.mp3");
}

	click1snd.play();
