Using system sounds on webpage

Play sound when link clicked

[limbo]

I was giving a little thought to this and wondered if anybody had tried it. I am from the old school of thinking that says leave out sounds and music from a site unless your selling it! However we have an goofy area for kids in development and wondered if there was anyone who knew how to have the Windows and Mac default system sounds play 'on click'. This would reduce bandwidth right - I mean if the sounds is already there then could it be used without having to down load it.

On windows 2000 this is the path to the sound I'd like to try

C:\WINNT\Media\ringin.wav

And is there code that could recognise the browser/platfrom and adjust the path accordingly.

Anyone know how it could be implemented?

sorry if this is straight forward but I have done very little, actually no work on websounds.

yo limbo, no way to do so. the user itself can enable a sound on click in most browsers, but the website can't do so.

... we have an goofy area for kids in development ...

Which way are we meant to parse this sentence?

Thanks Hakre

Well always worth a try :)

Which way are we meant to parse this sentence?

LOL - missed that one.

Would it have read read better if I had written:

We are developing an area of our site that is aimed at goofy kids.

Or

We have a developing kids goofy area

--------------------

I think what I meant to write - We have a 'goofy area' in development that is designed for kids to play with. ;)
