background music doesn't play

[arad]

Hello.
I added background music (mp3 file) to a web page by using the page
properties.
I also uploaded the mp3 file to the host server.

the music function well when preview on my computer, but doesn't function on
the web site.

The page address is http://bonnieetclyde.free.fr/humour.htm

Any Ideas ?

It's not playing because the server cannot find the file. It looks like it
wants to find it at
http://bonnieetclyde.free.fr/photogallery/humour/theseboots.mp3 but the file
isn't located there or it wasn't uploaded when you published.

Hello Mark, thanks for your answer.
I did upload the mp3 file, and if you go to the library:
http://bonnieetclyde.free.fr/photogallery/humour/
you'll see it there. (also clicking on it makes it play in WMP)
Any other ideas ?

Correct the case of the filename in the link to match the actual case of the filename.

TheseBoots.mp3 and theseboots.mp3 are considered as two different files under the Unix/Linux OS.

The small changes that make all the difference..... Bingo!
now it works perfectly.

(generaly I make the hiperlink by browsing, but this time, since the
browsing window of frontpage (page properties) refused to show mp3 files i
had to type it manually. that was probably the source of the error. and yet,
it worked ok on the preview on my computer...)

still I ty to overcome a small detail: There is a link to a small video on
that page (which opens in WMP), The music stops when WMP opens (that's good)
but it doesn't restart when the video is ended, any ideas?)

Thanks a lot
Arad

You would have to reload the page in order to have the background sound play again.

Your computer is Windows, the server is Unix. Unix is case sensitive
for filenames, whereas Windows is not.
