Continuos Page to Page Background Music

[btturner]

Using FP 2003, I recently set my home page to play music when the page is rendered. Unfortunately, when the user leaves the page to access another page on the site, the music stops!

Is there a way to Keep the music playing as a user traverses the site?

Hi btturner.

You can do this but would need to use frames.. the music stops because the page is reloaded. the only way i know of to do this is to use a page split in two horizontal frames.. Set the first frame to 1 pixel and the second frame to relative..

In the first frame (the 1 pixel) create a page BLANK that plays music..

in the second frame place your home page of the site.

Whenever a link is clicked only the second frame will change.. so the music from the first frame will constantly play.. you can remove the borders of the frame and the site will look no different..

I hope that helps

Cheers

As an alternate, you could create a small pop under window with the music loaded on that page. Give the user an option to close this window to turn off the music.
