Dreamweaver 4 & Music Fiiles
I've got music playing in the background of a website I'm currently building with Dreamweaver 4. However, there is an icon that appears on the page and I'd like to get rid of it. I want it to be invisible if you like - but the music to play in the bakground.

Can I get rid of it, or must I embed the music file (AIFF) in a way I've not yet encountered?

This is what I did: Placed insertion point - Insert>media>plugin - selected AIFF file. Bingo! But this bloody icon appears.

Help me, please!!!

Can you resize the icon at all? If so, just make it 1 pixel by 1 pixel.

when you say icon, do you mean a little gold square/shield that appears on the page?

Does the icon appear only on the Dreamweaver page or the site as well? If it is the former there is a preference within Dreamweaver for turning off the display of special characters such as anchors from being shown. If it is appearing on the site then drop the dimensions of the image to 1x1. Isn't the AIFF file a bit large for playing on a web page? Using an MP3 would save a chunk of bandwidth.

Thanks for all your help chaps! I'm grateful indeed.

I wouldn't try to play the AIFF on the web (it's 32 meg!) I'm just diddling about a bit - you know, just trying to figure a few things out before I get down to anything too serious.

Next question. As I'm new to all this music stuff (I prefer the good old 78's) how do I create MP3's (ie what software would I require - Flash I think can edit, but what do I know?) and would I be able to convert AIFF's?

Thanks again all those above!

The app I use for playing and generating MP3s is SoundJam, although Casady & Green are stopping development because their main programmers went to a competitor - Apple. Try using Apple's (free) iTunes software which generates fairly good quality MP3s (although not as good as SoundJam IMHO). The easiest way to get a copy is to open an iTools account (you need OS9) and they give you a copy on your free net storage.

The other option is to go to http://www.download.com and stick in MP3 under the Mac section and see what comes up. You should be able to find a number of utilities that convert between AIFF, WAV and MP3 format.

I've just bought me a new Mac & Display - Pick it up tomorrow. The wife's gonna go mad, but now I'll be able to use Dreamweaver menus and see the page I'm working on at the same time! It'll be bliss!

Set the target as "_blank" in the details panel when you specify a link. The HTML code should look something like :

{a href="http://www.cpfc.org/" target="_blank"} text or image details here{/a}

Use angled brackets instead of the curly ones.

I'm currently trying to improve my Palace site. Am using Dreamweaver 4

I have no HTML skills etc

I have all the stuff I need, just a matter of putting it on it. Paul Wright has given us permission to use his photos as a background and Les Butler made a quality logo for the site

I just need to know how to use this HTML better. Anybody suggest any sites etc where I can learn the skills I need?
