embedding sound when link is clicked

[Kev]

i have a sound file "linking.wav"

i want it to play only when the image "mystlinkingbook.jpg" is selected. what is the exact code for this, in HTML?

Assuming that the wav file is in the same directory as the html file:

<a href="linking.wav"><img src="mystlinkingboog.jpg"></a>

[Mosh]

I tried your suggestion and here is the code:
<a href=doorbell.wav><img src="whatever.gif"></a>

When I click on the image, it bring up the 'file download' box. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You can do that with javascript.

I guess this is what you want http://www.bravenet.com/reviews/archives/tips.php?view=67

Not to be ungrateful but are you telling me I need all this:
+++++
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var is_major=parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
var is_minor=parseFloat(navigator.appVersion);
var
is_nav=((agt.indexOf('mozilla')!=-1)&&(agt.indexOf('spoofer')==-1)&&(agt.ind
exOf('compatible')==-1) &&
(agt.indexOf('opera')==-1)&&(agt.indexOf('webtv')==-1));
var is_ie=(agt.indexOf('msie')!=-1);
if(is_ie){var agt_ie=agt.substring(agt.indexOf('msie')+5);
is_major=parseInt(agt_ie); is_minor=parseFloat(agt_ie);}
var is_dom2=(document.getElementById);

function jsStop( o ) { if(is_ie&&is_major>=4&&eval('document.'+o)){var
e=eval('document.'+o);if(e.src&&e.src!=''&&e.ReadyState&&e.ReadyState>=4){e.
stop();}}else{if(is_nav&&is_major>=3&&(is_major<4||eval('document.'+o))){eva
l('document.'+o+'.stop()');}} }
function jsPlay( o ) { if(is_ie&&is_major>=4&&eval('document.'+o)){var
e=eval('document.'+o);if(e.src&&e.src!=''&&e.ReadyState&&e.ReadyState>=4){if
(is_major>=5){e.play();}else{e.run();}}}else{if(is_nav&&is_major>=3&&(is_maj
or<4||eval('document.'+o))){eval('document.'+o+'.play(false)');}} }
</SCRIPT>

<A HREF="http://www.bravenet.com"
onMouseOver="javascript:jsPlay('thewav');return true"
onMouseOut="javascript:jsStop('thewav');return true"><IMG SRC="image.gif"
ALT="" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=200 BORDER=0></A>
<EMBED name="thewav" src="welcome.wav" autostart="false" mastersound
hidden="true" volume=100 width=0 height=0></EMBED>

just to play a sound???

Is there no easier way?

Thanks again,
Mosh

Yes you need all those.It can be done only with javascript.You could finish it up in a single line of codeing if you wanted to play a backround sound or music but this is more complex.You need all those codes.
