Post; I have a question (about Web pages)


I know that you can open "Microsoft Word" and save what you write as a "Web Page". But I have a question, can I put a sound clip? so that if the person opens the page, he/she will hear music.

Thanks, and if I have there is something you dont understand, please do tell

Yes you can but it is usually not recommended since most people find it annoying....

You just need to embed the audio clip and have it auto start....

here this will give you a quick how to

W3schools is an awesome resource

Do you want them to see the player or no?

What Donkey said; being with the old school of HTML we soon learned putting video and sound clips in the HTML code made the pages load slower and people stopped the transfer in preferation of other web pages with similar contents. But that was back in the days when US Robotics 14400 bps modems were top notch...

How large files do you want to add to your HTML scripts?

Well I was more getting at the dont make things autostart.....Just allow the user to start and stop them as they wish....

The annoying part is when you are listening to music and all of a sudden something else is playing our you didnt realize your volume was cranked and you open a page and BLALDSBSJBLKJBASHD blast the sound goes

Well that is a bit more complex and is done with frames and server side scripting (possibly PHP) which if not done properly can be very bad and hinder SEO as well as a user getting lost in a frame and not being able to get back to your site....

It is not hard to do a script for this, but the trouble is how to integrate it in the design and make it look good. I do not worry about the frames though, you only need two frames where one is static and the other one dynamic (the contents frame) and stick to that.

Or just crank up a java player for wav files, please hold; streaming 45 megs of raw data

How about Winamp, you have some options there that is cool to play around with.
