    onload music

    I am trying to set up my website so that our jingle plays when you load the page, but as I am new to web development, I do not know how. I taught myself how to use Dreamweaver CS3, which means that I don't know all that much, escpecially about Javascript. Can anybody explain how to get music to play onload in terms that a newbie can understand?

    Thanks,
    Daniel

      Here's a script I got 133 days ago from acoder :).

      [CODE=javascript]function play() {
      embed = document.create Element("embed" );
      embed.setAttrib ute("src", "soundfile.wav" );
      embed.setAttrib ute("hidden", true);
      embed.setAttrib ute("autostart" , true);
      document.body.a ppendChild(embe d);
      }
      [/CODE]



      Just change the part the says 'soundfile.wav' to source of your sound file. And just in case you don't know where to put JavaScript you could do it like this.


      [HTML] <head>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js" ></script>
      </head>


      <body onload="play()" >
      </body>
      [/HTML]

      And save the JavaScript in it's own file name 'script.js'.

      ^_^ Hope it helps, Thanks, Death

          Death,

          Thanks, I really appreciate it. I saw your thread, but I didn't really understand what I should do with it. You have cleared it up for me.

          Thanks,
          Daniel

              I have a new problem, now. I put the script in my site, tested it in a couple of browsers, and it worked fine. Uploaded the new page to my site, and it doesn't work. Any ideas?

              Thanks,
              Daniel

                  Post the page code. Have you linked to any script files that you forgot to upload?

                          Glad to hear that you managed to fix it.

                              I am using this code and am having a problem with it. I use exactly what is posted earlier and can't get it to work in Firefox. Any ideas? Thanks

                                  Do you get any errors? Post a test link if you have one available.
