rusty HTML

[nelsonmay]

Greetings I am Nelson May and I an new to this forum. i am seeking help on webiste development. I have an E commerce Site. www.relaxtapes.com.

Right now I need some HTML help. I use Front Page and can't insert an MP3 file to be played via a link. (i would also like to link it to a .jpeg so people can hear sound). i have consulted books and i am sure i have the code correct, but i keep getting the HTTP: 404 error. I did get this same doce to work in the past. can anyone help by sending a direct piece of code?

i also trade links with other commerce sites, and want the site to open in a new window. can i also have help with the code for that.

finally i want to learn more about serch engine positioning. i am happy to meet pen pals and discuss E commerce stratagies.

If you want to embed mp3s, you can, by using the old <EMBED src="file.mp3">. However, it will not be supported by all servers. It depends on the MIME configuration of your server. Also most visitors cannot play streaming mp3s and it may not play through a firewall.

About the .jpeg file there, you totally lost me. Do you need a jpeg to hear sound?

HELLO! and welcome to the forums! i'm thinking your best bet for the question of playing an MP3 via link would be a great question to post in the "Client Side Scripting". If you give some of the monkies here code, its likely you will recive a work of art! (just dont let the "BrushApe" see it, or it will likely be mangled!) as for opening a site in a new window, the code is <a href="www.website.com" target="_new">Link</a> , or when using FP, and you click the hyperlink icon, it will have a choice for link location (the default is set to "parent") i can give you some screen shots if you would like them (just let me know what version of FP you are using) and finally.... for search engines.. view the search engines section of the forums!

again, i hope you gain as many ideas from the forums as you do answers!

Sorry cloud9, wrong! It's not pixelmonkey.

No, I'm still here alive and well, lurking in the bushes, waiting for the right moment to leap out and hit pixelmonkey over the head with a family size can of SPAM. :D

The speaker that is supposed to be a link doesn't work, and i would just play the sound as a bgsound

[nelsonmay]

i took the speaker off of the website and an anchoring it with text. when you click on the "click here" the sound will then load via media player or quick time. i am going to lower my frequency to 8,000 Hz for faster download purposes. if you con't mind going to www.relaxtapes.com and see what comes up. if you have any ideas about how to default a media player or promt someone to download one please let me know. this is just a .wav file and i will haveto rely on other's modem speeds.

there is also a website that i have to place sound files for my voice acting. this is the link that they ask for to my site. that page isn't loading, so i am going by memory. the links to my site are supposed to be www.nelsonmay.com/some voice file.mp3. will this URL direct take someone to that page or will a sound file immediately play as the page loads. i also want people that go to nelsonmay.com to be able to surf my site and listen to differnt voice (mp3) files and wave files.

thanks for your help
