Your home page sound file loops for me using netscape7. I could not find a sound file on the second page.

OT- for what it's worth- image files are not indexable by search engines nor can the text inside images be made larger for the visually impaired as normal web text can. Images can neither be viewed in a text browser such as Lynx often used by the sight impaired nor spoken for them by those pcs capable of speaking text.

Using images in lieu of text content adds up to poor accessibility to a site. If you're interested in creating a site accessible to all, including those with visual disabilities, you should consider replacing your images with the text content the images contain. The disabled in your community might benefit from your site.

Thanks a bunch! On the second page, the sound file is on top of the code page. Sound used to loop on both pages, now no longer. I have IE, latest edition. - Thanks especially for your info on handicap accessibility. Never knew this! But will study it and see what I can do. - All the best, Lou.

I don't see sound code on either index1.html or index2.html. Maybe I'm missing it, but did you publish the page after you added sound?

When you're viewing the page, are you viewing as a preview from the webshell or are you viewing the live page? You should view the live page. Things like sound and scripts might not always work like they would from the web shell preview as they would on a live site reached from it's http:// URL.

It did not with me at all using netscape, i think it is my browser, but it looped with me using IE. try loop="-1"

Thanks for your advice. Just go to the home web site and right click, then click "View Source." You'll see my embed code at the end of the code page. On the second page, you'll see the embed code at the top of the page. All the best, Lou.

Thanks a lot. Sadly, I tried "-1" before, no difference. I come to think it's some setting in my browser that it doesn't loop. Any idea what it could be, a Java setting, or X control? All the best, Lou.

I have already viewed source and I did not and still do not see any embedded sound code on index1.html or index2.html. What exact .html file should I be looking at?

it is hard to tell, some times re-installing the software helps, but it is looping, don't worry about that.

Dear CW: The embed tag is on index.html, not the numbered indexes; then also on the seond page, "connections.html. Thanks for your efforts and interest. Lou.

Glad we cleared that up :). It was hard to tell what you meant by second page. I understood that as the page reachable from the "2" of your navigation. anyway- The connections.html sound file is looping for me- but see my response to your new entry of today. Maybe something to do with html errors elsewhere??? Not sure because I'm not having a problem looping your file.

There are some html validation tools on the net but using them sometimes causes more anxiety than needed- especially on sites that want to sell you html correction services. At those places "everything" needs correction so they can sell themselves. Not all the errors they find actually need correction though it may not be quite kosher html. But try watson.addy.com and run the "check html syntax" on your page or pages. This site isn't selling services.
