Need help in inserting audio using <object>

[shevorne]

Hi!

Earlier i used <embed> to insert audio in my website but i got to know that it is not a valid html 4.01 tag. So, i need to know the coding to use the <object> tag instead.
I need this information because i have to write a report on it..for my assignment. They want us to validate our website & correct the errors & to provide reasons for it.

So, it's a great help if u could provide me with the coding to use for this..I found out the coding for inserting videos that is only for .wmv files. It doesn't work for .mpg or anything else...I'm not sure if its 100% correct but it is working.....
well this is the coding that i found out...

<object type="video/x-ms-wmv" data="videos/v5.wmv" width="500" height="400">
<param name="src" value="videos/v5.wmv" />
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
</object>

I only need the coding for the audios....

Thanks

Regards,
Shevorne

Hey can somebody PLEASE help me out on this problem???? ?

<embed src="../assets/devx/8990.mid" autostart=true loop=false height=62 width=144 controls="console">

• The "embed src=" portion of the code refers to the location of our sound file.
• The "autostart=true" command tells the browser to start playing the sound file immediately.
• The loop=false command tells the browser to only play the file once.
• The rest of the code refers to the audio console. The "CONTROLS="console" tells the browser to display an audio console, and the rest of the code defines the height and width of the console.

Edit: I'm not sure of any other way, honestly...

I already used the <embed> tag for insertin audio & video but when i validate the site by(validator.w3.org) they say that the embed tag is depricated & cannot be used in HTML4.01. So as a solution for this i thought of using the <boject>. I used it for inserting video but im not sure how to use for inserting Audios...

PLease HELP me if u can..!!!!

I did something like what you want for somebody else on the forum and I used this as it validated

HTML: Select all

<object data="playlist.m3u" width="300" height="45">
 <param name="autostart" value="flase" />
 <param name="autoplay" value="false" />
</object>

I'm sure there are other paramters you can use

Hey! THANKX alot..its working in opera as welll...i think the problem was that i included
"<object type="....bla ..bla...." data=....>"
i think the "type" part was the thing that caused the problem...

Thanks again...Bye!
