i know this beep issue has been discussed around bytes.com before,
but i have not seen a simple technique, yet.


the Problem

How to generate a beep
say every time an image is loaded

ASCII encoding is part of every www page ?
ASCII 7 is beep

so
why none of the following tecniques works:

1- directly embeding ASCII 7 in a web page ( control-G )
2- image:after {content: "\7" }
3-<img onload="documen t.write( '\7' ) " ....

???

That's just crazy talk. 'beep' is operating system generated. The browser does not generate commands to the OS except through installed apps, ActiveX, XUL and the like and only if they're installed. html and css are markup languages for display and content, not programming languages, so telling it to display that control code causes it to display it, period.

Your third option is javascript, which is a programming language. But that's a question for hte javascript board.
