Adding Music to website 1

[braves07]

Ok, so here is the deal. I have a website I'm building for a local musician. I've completed the entire site in html/css because flash isn't necessary for anything other than the music. He wants to have several of his songs play on his site with the option to skip tracks, change volume, ect. Here is my question: Is it possible to somehow play that music so that the music continues when the user changes pages. For example.. say the "index" loads on song 1 and plays :20 of the song before they click on "about", I would like the song to continue on at :21 instead of starting over with each new page. I can easily achieve this if I create the entire site in Flash but I was wondering if there was a way to achieve this on an html site.

This is one of the few times where I would suggest using frames

You can have a frame that contains the player (whatever it is) and another (big) frame that the pages display in. You would use the target attribute on anchor elements to target the (big) frame for loading new pages, whilst leaving the other frame to play on uninterrupted.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Hm... Seems like it might work just as well to pop open a window called "Player" and that window can contain all the music controls, but then the basic site and site navigation is in the main window.

This would feel more like having a browser window for touring the site, and then having a radio playing nearby that you can twiddle and twaddle as you wish.

Without frames.
