Yes, using <embed ..>/<object...> in Netscape and <bgsound> in Internet Explorer. Problem is you are pretty limited: only MIDI files, WAV files or .AU files. Anything else (for instance, MP3), the user needs to have a plugin to manage that. That's why Flash is a good option: it's really small and deals with lots of codecs. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ witty-interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/witty-interest
