PUB2000: Background Sounds Don't Play with Some Browsers
This article was previously published under Q212554
For a Microsoft Publisher 98 version of this article, see

(http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=183505/EN-US/
)
.
When you preview or publish a Web site to a folder, the background music
that you selected in the
Web Properties dialog box may not play when you open this page from your site using some third-party Web browsers. When you open your Web using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the background sound will play.
This occurs when you use a third-party Internet Web browser, such as
Netscape Navigator, that does not support the background sound <BGSOUND> tag.
You can insert an Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code fragment. This
code will allow Netscape Navigator and other third-party browsers to play
MIDI files from your Publisher Web site.
NOTE: Microsoft Technical Support does not support inserting or editing HTML code fragments. This method is provided solely as a convenience to you.
The following steps will embed the MIDI file in a viewable format for
Netscape Navigator 3.x and later. Because the MIDI file will be embedded on
the page, it will not play automatically. To play the sound, you will have to click the file. You cannot make this embedded sound loop.
- Open your Publication inside Microsoft Publisher. On the Insert menu, click HTML Code Fragment.
- Draw a box where you would like to display the hyperlink to the MIDI
file.
- In the HTML Code Fragment Properties dialog box, type the following:
<embed src="filename.mid" height=55 width=140></embed>
The background sound tag has the following syntax
<bgsound src="filename.mid" loop=1>
where src represents the source sound file that will be played, and loop
indicates how many times the sound file will play.
