Need Microsoft Frontpage help with sounds
I have developed a web site using Frontpage and place music files there. If anyone knows Frontpage well enough to help me with a problem, please email me your phone number so I can call you and tell you where I have trouble. Please state the best time to call.

Charles;
I don't use FrontPage to work on websites, but I will offer some professional web developer advise. Consult with a website designer versed in standards compliant code before accepting any codes to place an audio file in a web page. FrontPage uses outdated codes which break in most modern browsers. Embedded audio in FrontPage, or other websites, which use the Bgsound, or Embed tags will not play in Firefox or Opera browsers, and will have issues playing in Internet Explorer 7. Those tags were eliminated from the HTML specifications a long time ago.
As a hint, you should look for a solution that uses the "Object" tag and parameters. Avoid "Embed" or "Bgsound" tags, unless you only want Internet Explorer 6 and older browser users to play your sounds back. A professional Webmaster will be able to help you code this properly, but you will have to upload the changes, via FrontPage, yourself.
