HOWTO optionally stop background sound from playing

[Dennis Coleman]

What is the best way to allow a user to stop
a HTML page background sound from playing in
FrontPage 200X?

Here is the HTML code in the header that plays the
background music.

<bgsound src="audio/mainpage.mid" loop="-1">

I need some kind of conditional statement to
stop the sound from playing if the user prefers that.

Is it possible to use a META system varible
that the user can change and check the value?

If so can you give an example?

Hi Dennis,

They have to click the Stop button on the browser.

My limited knowledge knows of only 2 ways to do this.
Option #1 is to have the user click the stop button on the
browser. The other option is to duplicate the webpage and
remove the music from that copy. Place a link on the main
page called 'no music' and target the duplicate of the page.
