I need a function that plays a song in the background ( in other words the user can't stop/start the music they have to go to another page or listen to it )
I'm not the greatest at JavaScript I don't do much with it, but I'm hoping to change that.
It doesn't really make a difference if you can do it wile the page is loading or it starts when the page is completely loaded.
Thanks, Death

That would be annoying, but here's a link.

The type of site I'm making, the users will expect music, so it wont be "annoying", and I've been to w3schools, already thats why I'm asking for a way to put it into a function.
Thanks anyway, Death

Maybe that should've been "could be".
I don't play much with sound, but you could try using an iframe linked to a sound file. Do you mind the sound player showing on the screen?

Have a play with this. Instead of playing using a button, you could add it onload.

Thanks, but it's still not what I'm looking for, I wan't the music to play in the background yes, but I wan't it in a JavaScript function, onload would be fine as long as it's something like this. (no this doesn't work it's just something i've tried). - function play()
-
-
{
-
window.bgsound="location";
-
}
[HTML]<body onload="play()">
</body>[/HTML]
Thanks again, Death

Have you tried something like this: - function play() {
-
embed = document.createElement("embed");
-
embed.setAttribute("src", "soundfile.wav");
-
embed.setAttribute("hidden", true);
-
embed.setAttribute("autostart", true);
-
document.body.appendChild(embed);
-
}
and call it onload.
Jeez okay, the last reply was probably the best recommendation. But just a few issues with making music play in the background:
1. It must not be copyrighted, or you must be the owner.
2. You better put play/pause and next/previous button, or else your users will get annoyed with the music constantly playing and restarting every time they refresh.
3. Although your users will expect to hear music, your looking at a rare audience. What about visitors? Stumblers? They have no idea your site will play music, unless you put "THIS SITE PLAYS MUSIC" in your title tag :)
Good luck.

Good points. I'd say a pause/stop button wouldn't do any harm.
