How To Embed Background Sound in Your Auction
Below you will find two methods for embedding background sound in your auction page. But first, please note: Most prospective bidders will be very annoyed to open your auction and find music blaring at them... so annoyed that most hit the 'Back' button before they've even had a chance to view your auction item. Another problem with embedding sound on your page is the length of time it takes most sounds to load on the page. Most prospective bidders don't have the patience to wait and simply move on to another item up for bid.
Now that you've gotten the lecture, here is the information you came here in search of...
The easiest way to add background music to your auction is to use this Background Music Code Generator from ricocheting.com. Once you fill in the necessary information, it generates the source code for you. You then simply copy/paste the code into your auction description.
For you do-it-yourself types, here is a table that explains all the sound attributes:
<EMBED SRC="http://your.url.here/name.mid"
WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=55
AUTOSTART="false"
LOOP="true">
</EMBED> |
| Name |
the name of your wav or midi.(if you are
including a wav it would be .wav) |
|
Width/Height |
the width and height of the console to
appear on your page.
(eg: the 'Crescendo' Player - Width=200, Height=55,
Netscape - Width=150 Height=55) |
|
Autostart |
If you want your music to play
automatically when your page has loaded, type "true". If you wish your music to
play on viewer's request, type "false" (this way the viewer can push play when
they want) |
|
Loop |
If you wish your music to play
continuously, type "true". If you wish the music to play once and then allow the
viewer to restart at their request, type
"false". |
