Adding Background Sound
Here is how to add sound to the background of your
Web Page, so it will play upon entering your page.
Netscape & Microsoft's Internet Explorer use
different commands for this.
Note: The newer versions of Internet Explorer
support the Netscape sound tag of <embed src="...">.
So it is reccomended you use the Netscape sound
code in your web pages for background sound.
Here are examples of these codes.
Using the sound sample.mid provided before.
The Netscape Sound Code
<EMBED SRC="sample.mid" autostart="true"
hidden="true" volume="100%">
To loop the sound you may add
loop="true" for continuous sound.
Or loop="number" for the times you would
like the sound to play.
Lets have the sound loop three times then stop:
<EMBED SRC="sample.mid" autostart="true"
hidden="true" loop="3" volume="100%">
The Microsoft Internet Explorer Sound Code
<BGSOUND SRC="sample.mid">
To loop the sound you may add
loop="-1" for continuous sound.
Or loop="number" for the times you would
like the sound to play.
Lets have the sound loop continuous:
<BGSOUND SRC="sample.mid" loop="-1">
Note: MSNTV users can hear either sound code.
It is best to use the Netscape sound code because
the lastest versions of Internet Explorer now support this tag.

I'm using the Netscape sound code.
