Default IE9 and Fan 960 Audio Problem

Anyone else having problems getting the little "Play button" > showing up on Fan 960's website in their audio vault with IE9?

I have to switch to Firefox to get it to show up. Am I missing some add on that's required?

Thanks.

http://www.google.com/chrome/
http://www.apple.com/safari/
http://www.opera.com/browser/

Any of the above will give you a better overall Internet experience than IE.

When you bring up the site in IE a little bar opens up on the bottom.
Click allow and it works fine.

IE9 is actually a very good browser. I use Opera myself but I admit IE9 is pretty exceptional. Maybe it's because it's the first IE that wasn't puke on a stick.

It breaks a lot of web apps however, some of our web based e-mail software won't work anymore in IE9 until it gets patched.

See, I thought IE9 was good to, until I tried to do anything with it. 2 Different CMS on 3 websites that I use wont work with it, for me that kills it. Sure I could run multiple browsers but it is not worth it. Same way when Chrome first came out and it wouldnt open PDFs without crashing or freezing most of the time. When I tried Opera (~3-4 years ago now), it was fast but often froze on my laptop.

Sure a browser can be nice and have all the features in the world but if it wont let me do what I want to do then it is useless.

*For the record I am on chrome right now, and despite its large size on disk (makes roaming profile at work pretty large, so that sucks) it is still the best I have tried in a while. Firefox isnt bad either, but I find the syncing with Chrome is far simpler than anything Firefox plugins were able to offer.

Opera practically comes up with everything first that the other browsers copy. They were the first to use tabbed browsing, mouse gestures in a browser, the most visited page/dialer, syncing user settings to cloud, stacking tabs, etc. There's too many to list. For a long time, it was also the fastest browser. Unfortunately, they don't have the marketshare and many websites will pop up with the "does not support your browser" message and tells me to download IE, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome when all the features actually work.

I still have IE9 and Chrome however because I find Google favors their apps running in Chrome and IE9 is mostly there for simplicity and Netflix as Silverlight seems to work a little better. I rarely use them though, Opera is my browser 90% of the time and when I move to the other ones, I feel helpless without built in mouse gestures or server side turbo cache (when I am on a slow connection) or my cloud settings, or the program does not default to saving the last opened tabs.
