embedded background sound on webpage

4 New Member
Is this the correct script to enable background sound on a webpage?
It works both in IE and Firefox, but is there a better way?

<EMBED src="country.mi d" hidden="true" LOOP="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE ">

Thank you for your assistance,
Joe

Sup Joe2Shoe, Welcome to TSDN!

Please use the proper code tags when you post code.

Well I'm not really sure, I've asked a similar question on the JavaScript forum , do to the fact that I wan't my HTML document to have only the basic structure in it, and not each page with 1000+ lines of code.( In other words anything thats not HTML is going to external documents). So if any one replies to me ( THE CLOCKS TICKING PEOPLE!!!!!! jk ) we'll both have our answers.


Thanks, Death

PS - yea using the "embed" tag should do the trick.

I forgot about this one:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <bgsound src="location" />
The only broblem with it is that it's only supported in IE ( Internet Explorer).

Death,
"Please use the proper code tags when you post code."

What's this mean?
I'm new here, and write code using notepad+.
I don't know too much.
Thanks,

Lol it meens that if your using HTML you need to highlight it and click the "<>" button, same if your using PHP, except you would click the piece of paper that says PHP, and anything else click the "#" button.

I'm paused in a meeting but you shouldn't use <embed>. Actually, there is no such thing. Microsoft made it up years ago, most browsers work with it (sort of), but all will tell you to use the <object> element. <embed> causes too many problems.

i've written a php script that generates images dynamically, via the GD library. i now want to detect whether or not the image is embedded within a homepage, or is being viewed by itself. at first, i thought that whether or not HTTP_SERVER_VARS was set, that it would mean that the image was embedded, but that's not necessarily the case, as it will also be set if it's just linked to from the webpage. so, any ideas?
