Yesterday, I posted this [http://blog.humaneguitarist.org/2012/01/09/jaus-trying-to-add-a-starttime-attribute-to-the-audio-tag/] about trying to add "startTime" and "stopTime" attributes to the HTML5
tag using each of the major desktop browsers' native HTML5 audio player.
If anyone read that post, it's clear I ran into some problems with Internet Explorer 9 when all the other HTML5 browsers seemed to be fine with my JavaScript.
Well, I updated that post today to reflect a possible solution. Possible in the sense that it works, but I don't know if it's the best - or even a good - solution to the IE problem.
It basically involved checking for IE as the user's browser and using the HTML5 media events [http://www.htmlgoodies.com/html5/tutorials/HTML5-Development-Class-Media-Events-3883356.htm] to find the event that would make IE wait until the right time before trying to access the current time of the audio element. I also referred to this [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537509%28v=vs.85%29.aspx] page on Microsoft's site in terms of checking for IE.

Hooray for anchor tags - and shark repellent.
