[Squaredancing] Sounds on Web Pages

[dave]

The reason the music doesn't play on Firefox, or probably Netscape, may be
the software used to produce the web site.  If you use a Microsoft product,
like Frontpage, there are a couple things it does that only work with
Internet Explorer.  One of them is music.  You may be able to manually edit
the HTML tag to work with both.  Also, I highly recommend an "off" button
for the sound.  I am quite often listening to music on my PC while I'm
browsing and having a page load with it's own sound is quite distracting.

The music doesn't play on Firefox. :-)

The animation and marquee are there. The animation is barely ok, but the
marquee is distracting. Some of the colors are distracting. Also the default
background color these days is white not grey. The main point of this type
of web site is to get information out to the (non)dancing public, but if
they are driven away by the loud music and garish colors is the site serving
its purpose?
