Trying to add a 51 second mp3 sound file to play while showing the Gallery slide Show presentation. Can someone please check out
http://www.rogergreiner.com/gallery
and read the source code of Gallery and tell me where I could possibly put the code?
Posted request on Gallery Forum and did not receive an answer. Maybe one of you guru's could help me.
Thanks

rogergreiner.com doesn't exist. Did you possibly misspell it?

I will try. Not to proficient in html code but am in a course learning the basics. My problem is that the Gallery software is so complex that I really donot know where to put it as different php files control certain features of the program. I posted on the Gallery Forum but had no response so I am looking for help. l will try putting into anything that says slideshow...maybe I will blunder through it.

And make sure you put "autostart=false" in the embed tag. Sites that start music automatically just by visiting them are some of the most annoying things on the 'net. The player should always wait for the visitor to manually start playback.

Hmm. You could put the whole thing into a Flash presentation instead, but that, of course, would require some knowledge of the app.

Oh yea....
I am gaining some insight into this whole process. There is no secret on how to do what I want to do. All somebody has to be gracious and tell me where to put the code. The folks at Gallery Forum are more interested in problems of code and getting things to run...and tend not to respond in a clear way. I can put all the songs in a web site through Go Live and can read the source code. My problem is that i do not know where to stick it in the gallery files.
Well by the time I am 90 I may be able to figure all this out.

Look for a <BODY> tag ... put it somewhere near that. It has to go before the </BODY> tag.

<BODY>

<EMBED SRC=mp3file.mp3>

rest of the information about the web page

</BODY>

Lookup <EMBED SRC=> at GOOGLE to see what other attributes you might be interested in for this tag.
