Sound
FX To really grab your
viewers attention, it is possible to play samples and
MIDI files on your web pages :-) To trigger an audio
file (WAV format recommended), the <BGSOUND> tag is used. The tag should appear within
the head
section of your page, not the body as you might expect. The attributes of <BGSOUND> are SRC="", LOOP= and
DELAY=.
For example,
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>This is a noisy page</TITLE>
<BGSOUND SRC="audio.wav" LOOP=6 DELAY=2>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Do you like my sample?
</BODY>
<ADDRESS>

In the example above, the audio file,
AUDIO.WAV is looped six
times with a delay of 2 seconds between each loop. Sound
effects can help draw your readers attention to your
page (the <BGSOUND>
tag is automatically triggered when your page is downloaded),
but are not recommend for everyday use. Special occasions only! |
