Biolab Disaster
If you go to http://playbiolab.com/ on Safari 5.1 in Snow Leopard or Lion, it doesn't work. It never finishes loading. I've tried on two separate Macs.

I also noticed http://browserbots.com/ loads but is extremely slow under Safari 5.1 while running Lion, but not on Snow Leopard. Is it just me?

While testing my own game it works fine, but has no sound. Could sound be a issue?

Thanks for letting me know! That was a really stupid mistake on my end: I uploaded a new .js file that loads .m4a audio files instead of .mp3 but forgot to upload the new audio files as well.

I also noticed that Safari was unresponsive while loading. I investigated this a bit further and found some odd behavior when trying to load non-existent audio files: http://twitter.com/#!/phoboslab/statuses/100602072247971840

When I load http://playbiolab.com/ : In Safari 5.1.5, sometimes the page loads and then re-loads. It even affects other open tabs, reloading them. But then it works.

I finally saved the files locally to figure out the problem, and the loop is endless when using a local desktop link.

The biolab game loads, because you can see the splashscreen, but then reloads the whole page again. Eventually Safari throws an error page.

Deep in the code, in the BiolabGame.start function, I turned off the sound, and now it loads fine.

Why does this happen, because I am going to make a game hopefully with all the same compatibilities, such as detecting if it's iPad etc. But I want sound for the browser.
