<br />
do you have a url to show us? not sure I understand, you can hear it but your family can't?<!--content-->i think what he means is that the bgsound is only playing on HIS computer and dosent work when his family try to listen on the internet..... or at least i hope thats what he means.<br />

the embed tag is the only one to use. there is no other one.<br />
<br />
besides, th tloop=-1 is incorrect, it should be loop=no for no loop and loop=yes for yes.<br />
<br />
but you should never loop sound or you should never hide the controls from your surfer. if they can't turn it off they will leave.<!--content-->hello scoutt my url is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://joekid54.tripod.comwhat">http://joekid54.tripod.comwhat</a><!-- m --> I was saying in on the sound I use the bgsound src= <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/and">http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/and</a><!-- m --> I can hear the music on it but on the slide shows it use a nother code that I can't hear but my sisters can hear the music on it.?????I just don't understand why I can hear the bgsound= code but they can't but they can hear the music on the slide shows and I can't.

<br />
<br />
<br />
the problem may be that becuase of the file extension you are using, the client needs quicktime to hear the sound (most people have it, but some, like me, dont run it on startup)<!--content-->Greg, the file is a .mid which is a midi, not quicktime. and quicktime is a plugin in the4 brwoser so it doesn't have to start up when you start.<br />
<br />

<br />
that is what's playing.<br />
<br />
I can view the source no problem.<!--content-->I hope this is'ent to unfair of me to ask. I fix a link to go to my slide shows so you can see if you can hear the music on it this is the one my sisters can hear and I can't the page you check out ( my front page ) I can hear the music on it but my sisters can't the only ones they can hear is on the slide shows.you have to click on the frist picture to start the show. if you don't have the time thats ok you all have done enuff for me and I do thank you for it. just click on the enter buttom and it will take you right to the shows.<!--content-->dude, you need to start using the period in your sentences. I can't understand you when you don't.<br />
