    preload a sound

    I've asked this question in a javascript group and I'm asking it here in
    case there's a HTML solution. I'm using HTML 4 Strict and I'm wondering
    if there's a way to preload a sound? Any solution needs to work cross
    browser.

      HTML does not preload anything. You are aware that this will make your
      page load so slowly that many visitors will leave before it loads?

          So is there only a javascript solution?

          Anyhow what's worse, that a page takes ages to load or a control on a
          page takes ages before it appears to respond (which I guess is a good
          reason to stream audio???)

              Exactly.

                  I think I would leave because it has sound, even if it loads in a split
                  second.

                      What if it was the sweetest sound in the world? Sweeter even than
                      Christmas and the Internet combined?

                          Sound is one of the things the authors of WEB PAGES THAT SUCK advise
                          strongly against. Besides, how sound is implemented is browser
                          dependent. Are you hoping to be listed on their site?
