You mean like the first long chord from a Jimi Hendrix's Star
Spangle maybe?

Image Map and Object, but will the visitor hear it if he/she browses
with sound off as I suspect many do?

My browser makes a clicking noise already when I click links. It's the
way *I* want it - not you.
But, trying to play a sound on a PC without speakers should be an
entertaining project.
The answer is no. Well, not in the groups you posted to anyway.

If it is _very_ loud, of course, he/she will....

If it is very loud, it has to occur. Since it can't occur, it can't be
loud. My opinion of Martian intelligence has plummeted lately.

Perhaps you can all help me add a 'sounds on/off' button to my page then
also. :)
What I'd like is a constant looping background MP3 (it will just be quiet
'street noise'), and a specific sound when they click any hyperlink, but
that option to turn sounds on/off.
Anyone here got the know-how?
Thanks in advance.

Boji, you have been badly affected by being in BdeZ's killfile.
Try to imagine a sound that is so loud that it breaks all logical
barriers and just roll about the floor in paroxysms of laughter
at this instead of casting aspersions on Martian intelligence.
Look, I know it will be bad when you meet Officer Bud White. I
know it is troubling you. But it will not be the end of the world
and you will emerge a better and stronger man.
And, btw, don't stir up that "mad hatter" crowd, a few of their
threads have (after a long absence) started appearing, complete
with foul language, on my newsreader.

BdeZ's killfile is like the Devil's Island of the Information Highway.
You can't imagine the depths of depravity and insouciance suffered by
denizens of that digital deep. Oh...what am I talking about? You're
there, too. That explains it.

I don't view them as a crowd, I view each as an individual with a unique
persona and responsible for his/her own commentary just as anyone would
be. Casually categorizing people into groups leads to discrimination
which I have found that Australians in particular are far from free of.

Re: Play a sound when clicking a hyperlink?
Hello,
I don't know what I'm talking about, but might wrapping some text with
nested links work, one for the web page and one for the sound? Lacking
that, you could use a Javascript onClick() event handler to redirect
them after clicking the link, but you'd be dependent on them having
Jscript turned on (which 95% of people do anyway).

You cannot nest links...a hack employed by black-hats on the web to do
very nasty things, up to date modern browsers will not fall for the trick.
TIP: in the future quote the part of the message that you are replying
to. Many folks use real newsreaders and not via webpage as Google Groups
and we do not see all the messages in a thread in a single window.

Thanks for a sensible reply to my question which was 'how to' do it (not
'should I' and 'please give your opinion on if it's a bad idea').
Can you give an example of such code that will call a URL hyperlink and play
a sound when clicked please.
Cheers!

Well, this is a usenet newsgroup. What this implies is
<URL:http://groups.google.c om/group/alt.html/msg/846f8ab01cc6340 0>.
BTW: the nested links that are proposed, are not possible with html:
,------[ <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#edef-A> ]
| 12.2.2 Nested links are illegal
|
| Links and anchors defined by the A element must not
| be nested; an A element must not contain any other
| A elements.

I like that idea 'cuz it will NOT work in my browser! You will only
annoy IE users. I also recall your cannot script it to turn on or off
the sound like Netscape's attempt at this with EMBED, it is background
sound *only* where you can control the looping and initial delay in
playing when the pages loads. Also your document will not validate with
BGSOUND element it was never part of HTML.
