Including Sound or Video in your Webpage
You can include media in the two recommended ways below. There are also some
browser-specific ways that we wont discuss. Also, be aware that the common formats
supported by most browsers without downloading additional helper application
software for sound is either: wav or au and for movies is: mpeg, avi, quicktime.
Ofcourse many people have applications to assist with realaudio/realvideo, mp3,
midi and other formats.
- As a Hyper-text link: The user
must click on the link for the media to start playing
<a href="file.wav">Click here
to play Sound File</a>
<a href="file.mpeg"> Click
here to play Movie</a>
An example: Click here to play welcome
- Embedded, that embeds the media player directly into the web-page::
<embed src="file.wav" width=0
heigth=0> </embed>
<embed src="file.avi" width=300
height=300> </embed>
An example:
- width, height, are in pixels and represent the size of the player to
be visible
- another option is Autostart=true this will start playing
of the media when page including it is first loaded.
- another option is Border=X where X is the pixel size of
the border around the media player
- another option is Loop=true this will cause the media
to continually play in a loop mode.
