So....How do you post a sound file?? I'm still waiting on my HTML and Web books from Amazon.<br><br>[color:blue]All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure - Mark Twain</font color=blue>
<embed src="http://www.jdempsey.com/sigs/sounds/glass.wav" width=320 height=25 controller=true autoplay=true type="video/quicktime"><br><br>It's fairly easy. First you have to upload the sound you want to post to a web server (your website would be fine, or a .Mac iDisk too).<br><br>This is the code for the sound I embedded of the broken glass - you will take out the ( and ) and use < and > at the beginning and end instead:<br><br>(embed src="http://www.jdempsey.com/sigs/sounds/glass.wav" width=320 height=25 controller=true autoplay=true type="video/quicktime")<br><br>The code is telling it to embed the source (the sound file) in the post that is located at the web address in italics (which is my web server, so your address will be different). Then it is telling it to show a controller so people can replay the sound or download it if they have Quicktime Pro. Then I have it set to play automatically when the post loads (autoplay=true). Then I have it set to tell a web browser what type of file it is, this isn't 100% necessary, but I have found that some browsers don't understand the file all the time without it (Chimera seems to have this problem), so I told the browser that it was a Quicktime compatible file, which tells the browser to use the Quicktime plugin to "read" the file.<br><br>[color:red] Kiss My Banana!</font color=red><br>Visit me here!

One more Giz, how do you code it so the sound does not start automatically?<br><br>[color:blue]All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure - Mark Twain</font color=blue>
