Happy Brussels I was to research the support for turning off background sounds/music in various browsers. To test IE 6.0 I went to a site that had a midi file playing on autostart using this code. <embed autostart="true" hidden="true" loop="true" src="http://bayou660.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/layhnds. mid"></embed> Turning off background music the Multimedia section of the advanced options in IE had no effect on it. The loop kept playing I went to the thunder site. http://www.laits.utexas.edu/kimmel/ It used a FLASH .swf file to generate the sound. <embed src="sounds/rain.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="32" height="32" scale="noborder"> </embed>\ In IE and opera you can turn off <bgsound src="yourmusicfile.mid" loop="infinite"> but it is specific to only those two browsers Firefox has no mechanism to turn off background sound. So I think that yesterday's resolution regarding background sound was good.
