I'm trying to add some sound to a web page of mine so I entered the following html code:

QUOTE
<embed SRC="test.wav" HIDDEN=true AUTOSTART=true NAME=test>


The file is test.wav but for some reason it doesn't play in firefox or IE.

Thanks,
MR0624

Hi there!
here is the code you are looking for.. it should look like this.
QUOTE
<script language="Javascript">
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') > -1)
{
    document.write('<bgsound src="filename.wav" loop="1">');
} else {
    document.write('<embed src="filename.wav" autostart=TRUE hidden=true loop="1">');
}
</script>


hope that works

first, let me explain what i'm trying to do . I'm trying to start a podcast but I needed to put the podcast on a page somewhere so i'm using some old web space. However, the code that you gave me still doesn't work. I made the proper edits (file name) and put it up but no luck.... I tried using a different hosting account that I have with a different server, and that doesn't work either. Thanks for trying.....

<embed src="test.wav" autoplay=true">

In other words, put a " at the end of your statement before the last >

Hmmm...it won't attatch....but it's this big picture of a piece of paper with a tear at the buttom corner and the quicktime symbol on the piece of paper. It just stays like that. I've edited the quicktime plug-in settings to read .wav files but it still doesn't work....

Should play as a quicktime. Change your file to an MP3 and try that?

Try this. Can you hear/view the file on this page?

test

What compression did you use when you created your MP3?


Here are some conversion softwares but I have never tried any of them. I either us MP3 or wav files.
