How
do I make a midifile play on my website?
Easy.
You can embed midifles into your website so they are able
to play automatically when your page loads. Simply stick
the following code into your HTML source:
< /embed>
Oh
god, you might be thinking. What do all those tags and variables
mean? Here's what they do:
The
'src' tag is your source. Simply stick in the name of your
midifile in this area
'autostart'
tells the browser whether the midifile should play as soon
as it has been downloaded. To make it play as soon as it's
been downloaded, set this to 'true', i.e., "autostart=true"
otherwise, set it to 'false' or "autostart=false"
The
'hidden' tag 'hides' any play control that the user can
have over playing the midifile. Experiment with this, with
the "true" and "false" variables to see what it does.
It's
as simple as that. Sometime we'll talk about the annoyance
quality of embedded midifiles in web pages. . :)
