Using Programming Scripts and Sounds.
Programming Scripts and Sounds can enhance your web pages to make them more interesting for your visitors. Below is a detailed description of each:Script - A script contains instructions for a computer. It tells the computer how to behave and what to do. For example a basic script would be to change the window status when you hold your mouse over a link.
There are javascripts, cgi-scripts, perl scripts to name a few. A beginner would first use a crystal javascript. JavaScripts are very easy to use. You insert the code into your web pages. They can really make your pages more interactive. You can add games and survey's and all sorts of things with javascripts. Once you get more advanced you would move on to cgi and perl scripts. CGI scripts are written in the Perl programming language. Perl scripts are good for messageboards, postcard scripts, search engines, guestbooks and items like that. There are many places on the Internet where you can get free scripts to enhance your webpages. When a site offers free scripts they usually tell you in detail where to put each line of code. You don't need a fancy html editor like Dreamweaver or Front Page. You can always use Windows Notepad (from your desktop choose Start, Programs, Accessories, and choose Notepad) to add scripts to your web page.
Sounds - Sounds should also be used in moderation. There are .wav and .mid to name a few. If you put music on a page, you should always give the user the option to turn music off. Nothing is more annoying than going to a web page and having blaring music with no way to turn it off! You can put music on your page by using special code.
Embed tells the browser a song is embedded on the page. Filename.wav is the name of your song. If the path is any where other than your root folder, you need to put the path. For example, if your web site is http://www.webmajestic.com and you have a folder with songs in it, your code would be.
AutoStart tells the browser whether or not to play automatically, loop tells the browser to loop or not to loop. The width and height control the size of the control panel. If you do not want a control panel type in Hidden ="yes". The align command controls the alignment.
