How to add Sound that works with IE and FireFox Browser

W

Will

How can I add sound to my web page that will work with both Internet
Explorer and the FireFox browser?

1 - I tried...

<EMBED SRC="Sounds/MySound.wav" autostart="true" autohide="true" WIDTH=0
height=0 controls=stopbutton>

But with IE I get a popup about an ActiveX control... and I think that will
scare most people.

2 - I also tried..

<bgsound src="Graphics/MySound.wav" loop="0">

with the code just before the <body> tag

I thought that once worked for IE only... but now it doesn't seem to work at
all.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

<bgsound src="Graphics/MySound.wav" loop="0">

Needs to be "in" the body tag:

<body bgsound src="Graphics/MySound.wav" loop="0">

The bgsound tag is only supported by IE
Use an Embed but get used to the AcitiveX alerts
- for a workaround see
