Use of flash for sound is one of only two practical approaches available on the web, and the only one which works in more than one family of browser, if author generated sound is an accessibility requirement I don't see much choice but to use flash, you don't need to use it for the actual link though, you can still have that in HTML. >*we are currently reviewing a large number of comercial music sites, >and of the ones we are considering linking to, a very large number use them. Are commercial music sites really a representative sample when it comes to sound? :-) Jim.
