If you know how to do these then pls help me out:
1 - Putting songs for the site to play, like if you go to A section you hear X song, you go to B section you hear Y song, and i don't mean by clicking a link, i want it to automaticly play the song. 2 - Putting help on a hover button, like a smell bubble telling you what is in that link. 3 - Adding smilies and other-non pictures stuff. |

In order to play background music on a website you need the use the code just below the <body bgcolor line adding (<bgsound src="songname.mp3/wav">) use that code after the bgcolor code and different one each page to play a new song when a new page is opened |

Note that the alt tag only works for images. If you want a tooltip over some text instead, enclose it in the acronym tag, as follows:
CODE These are some extremely small <acronym title="buzzword, doesn't really mean much">widgets</acronym>. This will enable an explanation when the word "widgets" is hovered over. If you want to put a similar explanation for a text LINK (instead of just a non hyperlink) use the following: CODE Visit my site at <a href="http://www.web-site.tk" title="this is a great site">web-site.tk</a>. So basically, adding "title" to many elements will produce a tooltip, or an explanation of the link which will appear when the item is hovered over. Hope it helped! |

I have one advice for you - if you use sound in your website make sure that you provide visitors with a way to turn it off, since many people are annoyed bysites with music, especially people who surf the web at work - like me!

...As for the hover functionality, what you have to do is dynamically change the src of the image onMouseOver and then restore it onMouseOut.
E.g. <img src="whatever..." id="myImage" onMouseOver="Javascript:hover('in')" onMouseOut="Javascript:hover('out')"> ... ... ... <script> function hover(String s){ if (s == "in"){ document.myImage.src="activeImage..."; } else if (s == "out"){ document.myImage.src="normalImage..."; } } </script> |

the easy way i do it for link descriptions is by using this code:
<a href="url here" title="description of link">blah blah</a>  nice and easy.

Yeah, the simplest way to do this is to use an iframe hidden somewhere and a page in that window with the music playing...simply make it so when you click a specific link, it opens in the iframe and opens the file "about:blank"...well, it's how I'd do it anyway (if I dared actually play music in a web page...it's so n00bish :-)) |

[/quote] Be careful with those iframes... I know Netscape didn't support them and I think Firefox doesn't support them now. <iframe> is IE proprietary, you'd better stick with the standards... |
