I want to be able to play an audio clip as background music while a visitor browses my site.
The audio track should be continous irrespective of the page the visitor goes to.
I don't want to use frames.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this.

Thanks.
 
The character of the <EMBED> or <BGSOUND> elements are such that they are invoked every time the page loads. Clicking on ANY Link, automatically re-loads the same page or a new page. If the same page is re-loaded the midi file starts playing over from the beginning. There is NO WAY to avoid this!

The ONLY alternative is to have the embedded midi file (or a script to play continuous midi files) located in a very small frame which will not distract from your main page.

Hi Dodge,

thought that might have been the case.
Hoped there might have been a clever workaround.

Thanks for the quick response.

I have seen this on some site that wasn't framed but cant remember where. I guess that they must have opened a new window off screen that was closed when you left the site. how they tracked you page to page without closing the window is beyond me though.
