Description

The BGSOUND tag allows you to create pages with background sounds or "soundtracks."

Syntax

<BGSOUND
BALANCE=n
CLASS=classname
ID=value
LANG=language
LOOP=n
SRC=url
TITLE=text
VOLUME=n
>

Parameter Description

BALANCE=n Determines how the available volume will be divided between the left and right speakers. Valid values for this attribute are in the range of -10,000 to +10,000, with 0 being "Wave Output" center balanced.

CLASS=classname Specifies the class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a sub-classed style sheet with the tag.

ID=value An SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underbar character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position.

LANG=language Specifies which language to use in ISO standard language abbreviation form.

LOOP=n Specifies how many times a sound will loop when activated.

SRC=url Specifies the URL of a sound to be played.

TITLE=text Used to provide advisory information.

VOLUME=n Determines the loudness of a page's background sound. Valid values for this attribute are in the range of -10,000 to 0, with 0 being full "Wave Output" volume.
