Playing a midi file - Tech Support Forums

Brainchild · February 19th, 2003, 02:54 AM

I have several small midi files on my website I would like to have them play when a link is clicked, instead of them downloading. How can I make this happen?

Thanx

What I was after was if you go to the page, you can click a link to listen to several different midi files.Not to use one as a background sound

Oh, I think you can just add a link to the midi then, when clicked on, the browser should play it.

I tried that and it keeps d/l the stupid thing

I can click open from current location, and it plays,is it a setting in my browser??
I'm using IE5 maybe that's the problem

I got it, I had winamp set to play them,and it wouldn't open it from location for some reason

Thanx ER

What does the code look like?

It might be a browser setting, IE6 just opens it in WMP.
Opera asks to download it, although, if I tell it to just open from then on, it opens it in WMP. Mozilla is the same way.
