Ok on my website (not the one listed on sig) i have a really cool load up page which takes about a minute. What i want to do is have a piece of music playing in the background but without the user having to click on anything. Like say they enter my website then imediatly the music plays

1.Is this possible
2.If so HOW??

thanks

Yes it is possible:



Change yourmusicfile.mid you what ever you want.

I don't think this works with the Netscape family of browsers. Probably the best way to ensure that all browsers play your music is to use Flash. I'm sure there are some kits on the Internet you can download for free that allow you to just add your own music into the SWF and then place it on your page. They also typically have "play" and "stop" buttons so that the user can control the music (a lot of people listen to music while they browse, so they might not want your music to interfere with their own music).

Personally, I do not like background music on websites because I am one of those people who listens to music while on the Internet. Plus, most of the background music on the Internet is not good. Your visitors may not appreciate the music.

The code i posed does work with netscape i have personal tesed it opera, ie, mozzila and netscape, and it works in all. But opera it messes up a bit every once in a while.

How about Firefox? I never hear embedded music with Firefox, so I assumed the same was true with all other Netscape browsers.

the:

<bgsound src="yourmusicfile.mid" loop="infinite">

sound part works with firefox.

Ok thanks for the code that wbe very useful.

Also what you said about people not wanting it there i must agree like you i listen to music and so does everyone else i know so haveing you say that has made me realise that !! i will not use it .

Thanks all!!
