• now believe me ive search for a long time and w3.org doesnt help either cause searching that site is a disaster.
    ive got a few results on search but but the howto is nowhere to be found….its there but only for the expierenced guru’s to find in the w3 swamp.
    what i want is the bgsound .
    <bgsound src=wp-images/music.wav loop=1>
    How do i get this in my index and get it validated as wel…?

    I have no idea about validity though.

    hi podz…
    yeah i know its terrible…
    people never can say i never search but the only thing left was to use the other code i had with the radio station….
    but its weird….letting it play a piece of music …like 6 seconds…
    but to get it validated it must be implented as param…
    like this….and its completely valid…
    <div>
    <object type="audio/x-wav" standby="Loading Audio" data="/wp-images/music.wav" width="0" height="0">
    <param name="src" value="/wp-images/music.wav" valuetype="data"></param>
    <param name="autostart" value="true" valuetype="data"></param>
    <param name="loop 1" value="true" valuetype="data"></param>
    <param name="controls" value="playButton" valuetype="data"></param>
    </object></div>

    (note: WHY CANT I PUT IN FULL CODE USING DAMN [code] ?

    I’ve never used sound, so have no experience in getting it valid, but

    thanx pods,well im leaving the one i posted above….that now suddenly is showing complete……..weird…
    But i can tell you….
    whatever it is you add to the site…keeping it valid costs a few years of my life…
    Btw….did you know a lot of sites (including the wiki.wordpress.org) isnt valid ?
    Weird….

    The wiki is a wiki, and like a lot of sites that have many contributors is subject to the posting habits of their users 🙂

    Incidentally using Google to search this forum or W3C can work pretty neatly.

    yes i did but i still had trouble finding what i was looking for….but as said its solved…
    but looking at the findings for the last few days of searching i validated some sites just to see if i was the only idiot who was making so much work of keeping it all valid…
    the outcome was disapointing…a lot of websites/blogs were probably more interested in the looks then keeping it valid…
    errors reported were or was related to design…
    just some stats….lol… 🙂

    About validity – a lot of people may not know how to correctly use CSS, so revert to tables and other uses of html code.
    That said, if someone does want help, and/or pointing at all the good resources that are out there, all they need to do is ask here – We’re a helpful bunch 🙂
