<BGSOUND>
Description:
The <BGSOUND> tag allows a sound file (WAV, AU or MID) to be played when a page is opened. See "Background Sound" for further information.
Attributes:
| autostart=value | |
| Value is TRUE to being playing the music immediately upon page load. | |
| loop=value | |
| The number of times the sound is played. A value of -1 or INFINITE will cause the sound to be played forever | |
| src="url" | |
| The name of the sound file to be played. | |
Examples:
<bgsound src="elshad.mid" autostart=true loop=infinite> |
This example plays a midi file called "elshad". The file will play forever and will start playing as soon as the page is loaded.
Tips:
-
In general, it is not a good idea to use the <BGSOUND> tag, as your visitors cannot easily turn off the sound. Instead, you might consider a plug-in like Crescendo, which allows sound to be turned off and on.
-
Most surfers agree that pages with background sound tend to be very annoying. This is very true if the sound cannot be turned off.
