SUMMARY
=======
When you add a background sound to a Web page in FrontPage Editor, FrontPage
inserts the <bgsound> tag before the </head> tag. Netscape Navigator
ignores the <bgsound> tag. To play a sound in Netscape Navigator, you can
use the <embed> tag.
This article describes how to insert a background sound that plays when you load
an HTML page in a Netscape browser.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To play a background sound in Netscape Navigator, follow these steps:
1. Open your page in FrontPage Editor.
2. On the Insert menu, click FrontPage Component.
3. From the Select A Component list, click Insert HTML and then click OK.
4. In the HTML Markup dialog box, type the following HTML code:
<embed src="soundfile.wav" hidden="true" align="baseline" border="0"
width="128" height="128" autostart="true" autoplay="true">
where soundfile.wav is the name of the background sound file you want to use.
You can use a .wav, .mid. or .au file. A plug-in may be needed to play midi
files.
5. Click OK.
6. On the File menu, click Save.
HIDDEN, AUTOSTART, and LOOP Attributes
--------------------------------------
The HIDDEN, AUTOSTART and LOOP attributes of the EMBED tag are described as
follows:
HIDDEN="true|false" Setting this attribute specifies whether
the plug-in is visible. Some plug-ins
(like the LiveAudio plug-in) can control the
embedded data type without being visible. The
default value is false, meaning that the
plug-in control will be displayed.
AUTOSTART="true|false" Setting this attribute specifies whether
the plug-in will start automatically.
Some plug-ins (like the LiveAudio plug-in)
can control the embedded data type without
user intervention. The default value is
false, meaning that the plug-in will not
function until the control is clicked.
LOOP="true|false" Setting this attribute specifies whether
the plug-in plays in a infinite loop. The
default value is false, meaning that the
plug-in will play once.
