Intro to Sound
To add sounds to a web page... we will use the
<EMBED> tag. This tag supports many common file
formats... such as .wav, .mid, and .au.
Here is the basic structure of the tag:
<embed src="filename.ext" width=x height=x
autoplay=x hidden=x loop=x volume=x></embed>
If you want the file to automatically play when the web page
is loaded, set autoplay=true, if you do not
want the file to automatically start, set autoplay=false.
If you want the control box to be hidden, use the
hidden=true attribute. Normally the file will stop
playing after it is completed the first time, so if you want
it to start over once it is done use the attribute
loop=true. You can set the volume setting with the
volume attribute, a value from 1 to 100
(default is 50). The control box size that plays the sound
can vary from browser to browser, but some versions of
Netscape won't show the box at all unless you specify. (145
and 60 are usually good)
Example of the embed tag...
