I was given a sample code and just had to fill in some pieces to make an audio file play on a webpage. My code looks like

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" id="song_name" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="Deadly_Combo_-_07_-_Like_Dis" value="Deadly_Combo_-_07_-_Like_Dis.mp3"/>
<param name="autoplay" value ="true"/>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="audio/mpeg" data="Deadly_Combo_-_07_-_Like_Dis.mp3">
<param name="Deadly_Combo_-_07_-_Like_Dis" value="Deadly_Combo_-_07_-_Like_Dis.mp3"/>
<param name ="autoplay" value="true"/>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>

In IE it loads my page with a white box at the bottom (i assume that is the player) but nothing actually happens. That box is no longer there in Firefox.

Im still new at this, is my mistake blatantly obvious?

you get a white box in IE because there is conditional code that only get's parsed in IE.
aside from that, the code is atrocious.
I'd consider html 5
