Background sound

Netscape code for background sound

[Adam5000]

Hello everyone. Good to see you all again. After a record setting warm January, winter has returned and I'm working on my web site again. Your help last time was fabulous and thank you to everyone who helped.

All the code works great with MSIE but I'm having a little trouble getting it to work with Netscape.

Specificly the background sound. I've got an mp3 loaded on the server, along with the rest of the files for the pages, and when a visitor goes to the site, the mp3 downloads to the visitors computer and plays in the background. The code I'm using works great with MSIE but it doesn't work with Netscape.

Here's the code that works with MSIE

<SCRIPT language=Javascript>
document.write("<BGSOUND SRC=Audio.mp3 LOOP=INFINITE>")
</SCRIPT>

I'm trying to find the code that works with Netscape.

Of course Flash would work even better and would allow you to give the user the option of turning the music off.
Background sounds can be very annoying.

Flash will also provide a more cross-platform solution, as the Flash plug-in is broadly available.

Came across this perfect combination the other day:
