Audio Tag Not Supported Message

Permalink
Hi All!

I have a bunch of <audio> tags on my site. Since not all browsers support the same formats, I am wanting to add a message that says something like "Your browser won't play the audio tag, so you can Download it instead!", or something along those lines. I tried doing it like this:

<audio controls preload="none" style="width:100%;" src="http://www.orlandobiblechurch.org/Audio/130714lde.mp3">
"Your browser won't play the audio tag, so you can <a href="http://www.orlandobiblechurch.org/Audio/130714lde.mp3">Download</a> it instead!"
</audio>


But that didn't work. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

The Rolls-Royce way to do this is with Modernizr:

Hmm, looks interesting. That might be a little overkill for this. I will look into it.
