If you want to play a sound when someone visits your Web page, an effective, simple, browser-independent approach is to insert a META refresh tag that loads the sound file. META tags need to be in the header () of your HTML file in order to work. If your audience uses many kinds of computers, make sure the sound file is a common file type such as WAV, AU, AIFF, or MIDI.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=spacemusic.au">
<TITLE>A Sound Tip</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" ALINK="#6600FF" VLINK="#CC0000">
<H1>Welcome to the sound warehouse</H1>
We have a full selection of MP3 audio clips, ... etc.
</BODY>
</HTML>
If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible.
