[edit] HTML Background Sound Element

<bgsound> - This Internet Explorer element associates a background sound with a page.

[edit] Attributes

balance

This attribute defines a number between -10,000 and +10,000 that determines how the volume will be divided between the speakers.

loop

This attribute indicates the number of times a sound is to be played and either has a numeric value or the keyword infinite.

src

This attribute specifies the URL of the sound file to be played, which must be one of the following types: .wav, .au, or .mid.

volume

This attribute defines a number between -10,000 and 0 that determines the loudness of a page's background sound.

[edit] Example

    <bgsound src="sound1.mid">

    <bgsound src="sound2.au" loop="infinite"> 

[edit] Notes

Similar functionality can be achieved in some versions of Netscape using the <embed> tag to invoke an audio player.

You can write bgsound with a self-closing tag <bgsound />. However, since this element is not part of a standard, making it XHTML-like will not make it validate.
