Hi

Is it possible to trigger a sound upon hovering a link but without the
use of winamp or another client ?

Yes and no. A media player plugin is usually required.

when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another

Humm. I want to achieve the same effect as if it were a flash animation
with sound. It doesn't trigger a media player. There's no way to
directly pass a specialized parameter to the sound card ?

Somewhat like we used to do with Basic ( .... data "1 3e 5f ...")

no. you can start a flash player and control *that*, though. IME most
other tricks (like using <embedor <objectto load a sound file
directly in your page) are less reliable in practice, though they might
be used as fall-back methods.
Somewhat like we used to do with Basic ( .... data "1 3e 5f ...")
you'd need flash or something similar to do play melodies (instead of
just playing a single wav/mp3 containing the full melody). unless you
don't mind the timing being *way* off.

Too bad, I hope either W3C or Sun have that feature in mind for a future
CSS or JS version.

Thanks

Sun has nothing to do with JavaScript

Hi there, Im trying to use the PlaySnd API to play a system sound, such as "Asterisk" or "Question" within the windows section. Anyone got any ideas on how this is done? I've tried using the SND_APPLICATION and SND_ALIAS flags but I'm thinking that my name isnt correct in the first place, should I be using "Windows\Asterisk"? Thanks in advance. -- Nick Pateman

Using VS.NET 2005, if you place a WinForms WebBrowser control on a form, then place a command button on that form and in the "click" even handler for the command you do: webBrowser1.DocumentText = ""; On every mouse click you were hear a "click" sound identical to the sound Internet Explorer makes as it navigates from one site to the next. If you're getting creative with the webBrowser control this is quite annoying.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
