I am using VSD and would like to put background music on my website. I really dont want to use the jukebox. I have tried every code I could find and cant get them to work. one example is <embed src="Spose - I'm Awesome"
width="140" height="40" autostart="false" loop="FALSE">
</embed>
Maybe I am putting this in the wrong place. Where do I need to put it.
Thank you in advance
Bobby

One way might be to use the (deprecated-) <embed> tag as explained at this link:
http://www.htmlf1.com/tutorial/html-bac … music.html
Or, you could try the - possibly more authoritative - recommendations of the W3Schools at this link:

Where you have src="Spose - I'm Awesome" wouldn't you need a link to a file in between the " "
You haven't told it which file to access and where. No idea if the code you have used will work if you change that though.
To insert any code in VSD you need to insert it at the spot you want it using the Add HTML tool.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

But there is not file extension on it. It would need to be something like "Spose - I'm Awesome.wav"
I'm not so sure about the spaces, hyphens and apostrophes in the name either. Better to name it something like spose_im_awesome. wav or whatever file type it is or sposeimawesome.wav
Also if the sound file is in a separate folder to the page file it would need to have the folder name as well so something like "files/sposeimawesome.wav"

Yes that might be part of the problem. I'm not sure if it will play in preview or not. Upload it and see and let us know how you get on.
