I need the HTML code for creating a clickable link for hearing sound in an auction so that the viewer can CHOOSE to listen to the sound or NOT. I hate those auctions that play music, but I have something to auction that should be heard as well as seen. I have searched Google high and low and even Ebay's board but I'm more confused than ever. Do I use QuickTime (I have windows) or do I use Windows Media Player? All of the HTML I see is for playing it automatically. Or one for netscape and one for navigator. Help please!

Thanks Slabholder. What would www.mysite be? Where do you "host" a sound file?
And I was hoping for something that looked like a small windows media player that just plays or not when you click on the Play button, instead of making the whole page go to another page. Your link took me into page and quicktime, but that just could be how my player is configured as a default player.

still working on it. I have a web page supposedly and file locker at Comcast. Can I use that to host the sound file? I have it recorded and saved to my desktop as a .wav file but I'm stuck there.......
The "hidden" attribute determines whether the console is visible. "Autostart" determines whether the music starts automatically, or waits for the user to click the Play button. Set width and height attributes according to preference.

Thanks Twinsoft, but I don't get anything but an empty box with a square when I click on your link.
The answer was: Yes, I had to set up my web page at my service provider, or at least download that .wav file to it. Then I had to find it via the web by typing in my webpage ftp url, which brought up everything I had uploaded there. Actually I should of been able to just hit publish, but that's my provider's problem, they don't have a clue as to what ftp is. Once I found my ftp webpage, I copied and pasted my music.wav file url into what I found on good old Bob's HTML page from Ebay. http://www.eobcards.com/tutorial3.htm I used <a href="http://YOUR SOUND URL">Click here</a> which opens up (on mine) either Quick Time or Windows Media Player (whichever was the last one I used). It doesn't take me away from the page, but opens up the player and they'll still have to click on play to play it.

'Don't know. It works for me in IE 5.5. Should work in most browsers. Try viewing the code locally (on your hard drive). Geocities adds some crap at the end of the page. Anybody else see/not see the console?
