Goofy Geek

Thanks for stoppin by...
Ive had this problem since I purchased "Front Page 2000"
Happens in Win 98SE, ME, and XP PRO
and on several machines I have progressed thru...

Shortly after clean install and getting the latest updates
for Windows, IE Explorer and Office

Outta nowhere the "Background Sound Buttons are greyed out"
and disabled and I can not add any audio background sound to my webpages

Once it happens Ive tried repairing it, uninstalling it
and reinstalling to no avail, once there greyed out
they stay greyed out till I format and start from scratch

Greyed out background sound buttons making me crazy, please help

Thanks for looking greatly appreciated .

Tools->Page Options - Compatibility tag
Ensure the Browser is set to Custom or Internet explorer only.

Background sound as implemented by FrontPage will only work in IE, and is
one of the most annoying things on the web.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the response
This problem has been terrorizing me for years
Now I gotta figure out how to get Firefox to play
BG Sound Since I run it occasionally on my
portable USB drive on different machines
I have bookmarked your site and will put a link to it
on my Home Page.

Thank you sooo much :) you made my day, err nite ...

Goofy,

This works for me in IE6 and Firefox

<head>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function playSound()
{
x = document.getElementById("sound")
x.innerHTML= (!x.innerHTML )
? '<embed src="minuet.wav" loop=false autostart=true hidden>'
: ''
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span id="sound"></span>
<input type="button" value="Play/Stop
Music" onClick="playSound()">
</body>

Since the experts say playing sound unasked is annoying, this gives the
visitor the option to play or stop the music as required.

If you want to, you can put the function in an external js file (say
scripts/external.js) and call it in <head> by
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/external.js"></script>
