Player Embedding issue

Sep

2011

I am trying to create a music player for my site, but I cannot get the mp3 file to play.

Here is the code I currently have for the player:

<body>
<embed src = "(my sound file).mp3" autostart = "true" loop="true" width = "400" height = "30"/>
</body>

What's wrong?

Have you uploaded your sound file to host?... then got the URL of the file to embed

Ah, that's probably it. Not 100% sure yet tho...

Is this sorted?

The Should Be This

<embed
src="my sound file.mp3"
autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">

The hosting issue was the problem. It now plays. Thanks.

BTW Badhaxers2, I'm taking a college-level programming class, plus I've check the Admin's tutorial. My code was correct but it still wouldn't play, that's why I asked.

However, your code will not work, you have not specified a height and width, you haven't properly closed your "embed" tag, and you have no "body" tags to nest them in.

Learn more about programming before you start telling people that they didn't do something right.

Who Cares About Height And Width This embed source is background music

I will not tolerate members flaming towards each other here on the support forum, please avoid that here or else you'll both get a warning.
