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 :-))

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...
