Links to Midi Files

Jenny

Hi - I use FrontPage 2000 to maintain our church's website. The children's
Sunday School class wanats to be able to play some midi files from one of
the pages. I don't want them to play automaticially when the page loads, but
instead by clicking on links. I've created the links and they work fine, but
Windows Media Player opens in front of the web page. Is there any way to
keep the midi player from being visible? Thanks for your help, Jenny

Jenny,
I use a javascript function playSound() to play the audio file

It is called from the HTML by:
<span id="sound"></span>
<input type="button" value="Play/Stop
Music" onclick="playSound()" />

This doesn't bring the player to the foreground, I think because of the
parameter "hidden".

You need to use Code or HTML view to place this code in your page

The function is placed in the <head> section between
<script type="text/javascript"> and </script>
i.e.
<script type="text/javascript">
function playSound(fname)
{
if (!fname)
var fname = "audio/minuet.mid"
var x = document.getElementById("sound")
x.innerHTML = (!x.innerHTML)
? '<embed src=" ' + fname + ' "loop=false autostart=true
hidden>' : ' '
}
</script>

The HTML is placed in the <body> section wherever you want the button
