Music on website

Daughter's homework assignment:
www.jackson8.com/sarah/cowboy

She's using
<bgsound src="mysong.mid" loop="1">

for the music (on each page) but it's reloading on every page. We'd like it to load, and play, when going to the site...then continue playing no matter what link is navigated to.

How do we do that?

Thanks!!

Rick.

No, BGSound won't work in FireFox. It's not a standard's complient tag and is just implementing in IE. If you want the sound to work in most browsers, use the embed tag (or the object tag)

Code:

<embed src="something.wav" autostart="true" width="144" height="60"/>

And I agree - sound on websites can be annoying. But for a kids school project, we'll let this slide

What's really annoying is though smiley adverts you see where you pass your mouse over it and it screams "Helloooo" in a stupid way. Those I hate. Anyway, that's for another topic
