My HTML5 project loads and runs just fine on the latest versions of Firefox, Edge and Chrome on Windows 10. It runs fine on Firefox on a mac.

BUT, it won't run on Safari 14.0 on a Mac or on either of two iPads. It also won't run on Firefox on an iPad. The loading percentage counter goes up to 100% but then the screen just stays black.

Does anyone know the likely problem? What should I check?

Thanks in advance, Jim

Check the browser console for any errors (IIRC, Cmd+Shift+I).

Interestingly the file that throws a 404 does appear to be in the specified folder...

I would guess the server is misconfigured. Some servers return 404 for file types they don't recognise. It might not have a file type configuration for .wasm. See the manual entry on MIME types.

Thanks. There's nothing appropriate looking in my website control panel so I have contacted my ISP. I await their response...

My ISP suggested that I needed to add a webdotconfig file to my website root directory to specify the mime type for my Windows server.

After a bit of research I added this webdotconfig file...

...and now the game runs in Safari on Mac and iPad!

Thanks, Jim
