Background Music

Is there a way in FP 2002/2003 to have background sound
on a page that can be turned off or on by the viewer of
the page? If it can be done, any suggestions on HTML to
make it happen?

Thanks in advance

Don't use the background sound tag instead
1) You should be using the Embed tag (not the bgsound tag) for the sound
(for cross browser compatibility) - first apply a name to your sound (say
"noSound")
<embed src="../sounds/alhambra.mid" name="noSound" autostart="true"
volume="50" loop="true" width="0" height="0" align="center" hidden>

2) Then Insert a "no sound" image on the page and then add an onclick event:
<img border="0" src="../images/bt_noplay.gif"
onclick="document.noSound.stop();return true;" alt="Stop Music"
align="absmiddle" width="20" height="20">

3) Or if you are using frames in the head section of one frame add:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!-- Hide It:
// Where "pgmain" below is the name of the frame containing the embed tag
function killSound() { parent.pgmain.embeds['noSound'].stop(); }
// Show It: --></script>

Then in the body of the same frame add a link:
<a href="javascript:killSound()"><img border="1"
src="../images/bt_noplay.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="Stop Music" hspace="3"
width="20" height="20"></a>
Or for Text:
<a href="javascript:killSound()">No Sound</a>
