a quick question about HTML....

[5489]

Im using angelfire/lycos webserver to host my website.

I have a .midi file, ive used HTML to play the music in the backround when the page is opened. But when i open the page, it gives me an error and says "the proper plugin could not be downloaded. I am able to hear backround music on other pages.

I cannot, in good conscience, help you to make your page horribly annoying. you're on your own.

heh! yeah, background midi s do seem to bug the hell out of me, for some reason. kind of like the whole nails down a blackboard thing...

Sorry, wouldn't help you here.

I think you understand what everyone's getting at...
Another very annoying thing is an extremely "loud" background image. don't do this, it clashes with the text and hurts people's eyes.

Well he does have a point. Almost every single page I've been to that was hosted by any of those companies has a horrible midi in the background. As soon as I hear a midi, I leave a page.

Do you have the right html code? This page may help you.

<bgsound src="music.mid" volume="-10000">
<embed src="music.mid"></embed>
</bgsound>

If it doesn't play properly, you need to install an appropriate plugin. IE will just work "natively" through <bgsound>.

Make sure to set the volume to -10000. Thanks.
