andrew_storey Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 <p>I'd like to create a personal website to show my photos. Strictly for fun; not a business requirement. Therefore, I'd like to keep cost and design requiements (i.e. programming) to a manageable level. I'd like to be able to include a sound file such that when you are looking at a photo, you click a button, and a sound file begins. In doing so, you don't leave the site to go to an independent audio site to hear it.<br> Is this possible without extraordinary investment in time, money and programming? Any canned website development software/sites out there that allow you to do this type of thing?<br> Thanks,<br> Andrew</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 <p>Andrew, Audio is a standard component in HTML. I find it annoying, but to add it to a web page, you simply point your source to the wav, mp3, or some playable audio file that you've uploaded to your website, such as:</p> <p>code picture attached because photo.net does not like seeing embedded html code.</p> <p>A couple of key things are to hide it using the "true" statement, unless you want controls to show up on the window, and to set autostart to true, in order to have it start up right away when the page is loaded.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 <p>Okay, here's the image...</p> <p>I give up. It doesn't let me attach the file either, but I found some sample code that will give you an idea:<br /> <br /> http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_background_music_codes.cfm</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas_frady Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 <p>I've used a few of these templates in the past. A few have what you're describing included.</p> <p>http://allwebcodesign.com/setup/signature.htm</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janne_moren Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just be aware that adding sound is a great way to chase away visitors. You have to decide that you really, _really_ need the sound for it to be worth the loss of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_bryant2 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 <p>Automatic music on web pages sucks! Period. If you want people to hate your website, use auto sound/music on page loads.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
