Sound FX
Unlike the PC and Mac platforms, the Atari (as far as I am aware, please let me know if this is not the case!) does not have the means to playback realtime audio across the WWW. However, you can play samples from your Web page :) To trigger an audio file (WAV format recommended), the <BGSOUND> tag is used. The tag should appear within the head section of your Web page, not the body as you might expect. The attributes of <BGSOUND> are SRC="", LOOP= and DELAY=. For example, <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>This is a noisy Web page</TITLE> <BGSOUND SRC="audio.wav" LOOP=6 DELAY=2> </HEAD> <BODY> Do you like my sample? </BODY> <ADDRESS> This Web page was written by Matthew Bacon </ADDRESS> </HTML> In the example above, the audio file, AUDIO.WAV is looped six times with a delay of 2 seconds between each loop. Sound FX can help draw your readers attention to your page (the <BGSOUND> tag is automatically triggered when your Web page is downloaded), but are not recommend for everyday use. Special occassions only!
