No Sound

[DannyBoy]

I attempted to publish a sound file but received a server error saying (in
effect) that the file transfer failed. I later learned that the size of the
sound file was 8 mega-bytes which exceeded the 5 free mega-bytes I have been
allotted.

So I then published a MIDI file which was a whopping 50 kilo-bytes.

I didn't receive a server error this time but upon opening my own web page I
was not getting any background sound at all.

Is it possible that there were copyright protections on this MIDI file which
would have prevented its playback?
Do I need to also specify a media player somewhere in my web pages?

Thanks in advance,
DannyBoy

DannyBoy,

My gut hunch would be how the midi file was inserted for your background
sound.

You may also want to consider a cross browser solution also, since browsers
have different BG tags.

Here is a site that offers a java script solution:
