Hello,<br />
<br />
Heres what I want to do on the following link.<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.santonefamily.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=&pos=0">http://www.santonefamily.com/gallery/di ... cat=&pos=0</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
There is a slide show button above the image, I want to play an mp3 when you hit the slide show button. Note, I do not want to bring up media player.<br />
<br />
How would I link to an mp3 and have it play without calling media player?<br />
<br />
Thanks alot for your help.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />

<br />
look into the embed tag.<!--content--><embed src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"audiofile.mid" autostart="false" loop="false" height="45" width="170"><br />

<br />
autostart="..." <br />
This sets whether the file should start playing straight away. It can be true or false. If you set it to false the file will not play until the user presses the play button. I would advise that you do let the reader decide when to turn it on, as having a song blaring unexpectedly out of your speakers is usually a bad thing. <br />
<br />
loop="..." <br />
This specifies whether the file will start again once it has finished and loop for ever, or stop after one play. True or false. <br />
<br />
hidden="..." <br />
Again a true or false attribute, this asks whether the controls and progress bar should show up on screen. Taking these away is a bit dangerous though, as if the user has no control over the file, the only way they'll be able to stop it is to exit your page. <br />
this should do it for you
