    hi i don't disagree music puts buyers off but just wondered how people did it?
    i presume through javascript is the answer

    unfortunately you'll find that [STRIKE]all[/STRIKE] majority of the posters her on the e bay forum are of the same opinion (including me) that twee music and animated gifs etc are the biggest turn off when looking at items on e bay. (the same discussion cropped up over xmas when someone asked the same thing, and the concensus of opinion was exactly the same. NOOOOOOO.:eek: )

    If you are really desperate to know how to do it then i suggest you post on the techie board.

    I hate listings that have music.

    You don't have to use Javascript, you can just use the HTML embed tag, i.e.
    <embed src="file_location" width="0" height="0" autostart="true" loop="true"></embed>
    

    You can find more attributes that can be used with the embed tag here.

    But as others have said, be warned thatit puts most people off (any web page, not just auctions).
