`<BGSOUND ...>`

Usage Recommendation
Use this tag conservatively if at all. It's very easy to annoy people with background sounds.

SRC : URL of the sound

LOOP : how many times to play the sound

Before you read any further about this tag, please read the section about background sounds , which discusses how to combine this tag (which Netscape doesn't understand) with a Netscape-friendly <EMBED ...> tag.

<BGSOUND ...> , MSIE, tells the browser to play a particular sound when the page is loaded.

this code produces this

<BGSOUND SRC="helloo.wav">
the background sound on this page

This tag was the cause of some annoyance for users of MSIE versions 1 and 2 because it could not be turned off, but the STOP button now stops the playing.
