How Do You Add Auto Open Sound To Your Web Page?

Netscape and Internet Explorer require different html tags in order to allow a sound file to automatically open.  The 'BGSOUND SRC' tag is for Internet Explorer, the 'EMBED SRC' tag is for Netscape.  If you want to ensure that all visitors to your Web Page can hear your sound file (providing they have a sound card installed in the computer), then you will need to code for both Netscape and Internet Explorer.

The following Netscape tag  needs to be placed after the <BODY> tag.  This coding does not allow the sound recorder to be viewed (it is hidden), therefore the Web Page Visitor has no choice but to listen to your favourite tune!!

 <EMBED SRC="American Pie.mid" AUTOSTART="True" HIDDEN="True" LOOP= "True">

The following Internet Explorer tags  need to be placed immediately after the Netscape tag.

<BGSOUND SRC="American Pie.mid" LOOP=0 >

The following Netscape tag  needs to be placed after the <BODY> tag.  This coding allows the sound recorder to be viewed (it is not hidden), therefore the Web Page Visitor has a choice to stop the sound file if they wish.

The following Internet Explorer tag  needs to be placed after the <BODY> tag.  This coding allows the sound recorder to be viewed (it is not hidden), therefore the Web Page Visitor has a choice to start and stop the sound file, if they wish.
