To answer your question, You can use Java Script or flash to do that for you. You could even incoorporate, for example, a pause, a play and a mute button, plus a volume control slider. Try googling for "embedding media controls with java script and flash on a web page" as the search string. I had lots of results from it. Good luck and cheers! ----- Original Message ----- From: Homme, James To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 7:42 PM Subject: Basic Internet Programming Question Hi, If you have a web site, can you write software that plays sounds on someone’s computer without them having to download them? If so, what language or languages would you use? Thanks. Jim ---------- Jim Homme, Usability Engineering. 412-544-1810. Note: I will reply to email and voice mail within four hours.
