Can an audible beep be included in a CGI print statement?

Thanks

Yes an audio beep could be included with a print statement using a HTML output

So instead of printing like this...

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello";

Print like this (and include a sound within your HTML page, i.e. give it a background sound)...

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<"HTML code";

<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Beep</TITLE>
<bgsound src="Beep.wav" loop="-1">
</HEAD><BODY>
<p>TEXT
</BODY></HTML>

HTML code

A good suggestion, might work for them in this case, but the beep will not be triggered by anything in particular, the page will load and the beep wav will play. I wonder if javascript might be a better solution if the beep event needs to be triggered by something. But that would be a javascript question and not a perl question.

I have used a javascript before for a similar purpose, and it worked affectively, and you have alot more control. So I would also suggest using a javascript beep if possible. However if the context you are using the beep in is simple then the HTML background sound is hopefully perfect
