Midi
Files and Wave Files may be embedded and automatically
played when a user hits your web site using a
couple of methods (again dependent upon the browser.)
- Microsoft Internet Explorer supports embedding
a background sound to a web page using the <bgsound>
tag. See the following example:
|
<bgsound
src="http://www.enetrics.com/sound.mid"
loop=0"> |
This would appear to be the most logical way to
embed a sound file. The only difference
is I think this should be included in the <background>
tag, but hey, who am I to tell everyone else how
to do html right?
The
Loop parameter identifies how many times through
the midi file should be played. You can set this
value to any number or to define an infinite loop,
set the value to "-1" as shown in the
following example:
|
<bgsound
src="http://www.enetrics.com/sound.mid"
loop=-1"> |
The following
is the embed tag:
|
<embed
src="http://www.enetrics.com/sound.mid"> |
As you can see there isn't a whole lot of differences
between the two with the exception of the tag
name. You can place both tags in your documents
and both browsers will support playing the midi
files.
NOTE: The
same is true for embedding wave files. Simply
use the <bgsound> or <embed> tags
to link to the .wav file.
