SUMMARY
When you add a background sound to a Web page in FrontPage Editor, FrontPage inserts the tag before the tag. Netscape Navigator ignores the tag. To play a sound in Netscape Navigator, you can use the tag.

This article describes how to insert a background sound that plays when you load an HTML page in a Netscape browser.



MORE INFORMATION
To play a background sound in Netscape Navigator, follow these steps:  Open your page in FrontPage Editor. On the Insert menu, click FrontPage Component. From the Select A Component list, click Insert HTML and then click OK.  In the HTML Markup dialog box, type the following HTML code:  where soundfile.wav is the name of the background sound file you want to use. You can use a .wav, .mid. or .au file. A plug-in may be needed to play midi files.  Click OK. On the File menu, click Save.</li></ol>

HIDDEN, AUTOSTART, and LOOP Attributes
The HIDDEN, AUTOSTART and LOOP attributes of the EMBED tag are described as follows: <pre class="fixed_text">  HIDDEN="true|false"      Setting this attribute specifies whether the plug-in is visible. Some plug-ins (like the LiveAudio plug-in) can control the embedded data type without being visible. The default value is false, meaning that the plug-in control will be displayed.

AUTOSTART="true|false"  Setting this attribute specifies whether the plug-in will start automatically. Some plug-ins (like the LiveAudio plug-in) can control the embedded data type without user intervention. The default value is                           false, meaning that the plug-in will not function until the control is clicked.

LOOP="true|false"       Setting this attribute specifies whether the plug-in plays in a infinite loop. The default value is false, meaning that the plug-in will play once.
