    music, and link help
    I want to make a page in my website about guitar chords and so forth. And I have little piuctures that for example say= C major , and when you click on it it activates a .wav sound and takes you to a new page with a movie being played. What would this look like in css and in html?

    Link on your page - a normal link using an image:
    Code:

    <a href="cmajor.html" title="C Major"><img src="" alt=""/></a>
    As for the C Major page itself, try looking at this code: http://www.mioplanet.com/rsc/embed_mediaplayer.htm

    If you intend for the WAV to be the sound for the video, I wouldn't bother - the sound won't sync up. The WAV file would start playing before the video has even started loaded. Just ensure the video you will be playing has sound.

    There are a few other problems with embedding video on a web page and if you want me to reel them off

    Thanks about the wegbsite page. But what I mean is that when you click on the link it will sound the WAV. NOT IN THE MOVIE.

    Best way to do it would be two have two embed tags on the page - one for the sound, one for the movie. There is a bgsound tag but I believe this is only supported in Internet Explorer so I would stay away from it.

    Just seen that I was a bad person by suggesting embed tags. Have a look hear for good ways on embedding video/sound:

    I read it and I got even more confused. Sorry. Can you explain it to me?
