Once upon a time James Nerlinger, Jr. shaped the electrons to say... >Many users and clients like the sounds and it would be simpler to code them >if we simply had a dedicated tag, especially when browser and plug-ins There is a dedicated element - OBJECT. It is dedicated to including outside data objects into the current document. Element proliferation is NOT the answer. OBJECT has all of the necessary abilities already. And it appears to work for sound embedding in NS, and I believe MSIE either has it or claims it will before release. Why try to get browsers to support you *another* element when OBJECT is there and they already have varying degrees of support for it? If it isn't enough, complain to the browser vendor and maybe they'll get it right. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588
