music

Marisa Heymach

I am having a terrible time trying to embed music on my homepage. I became a member of imeem, picked one of the songs, copied a very long for embedding the song on a webpage, pasted it onto the footer section in the control panel, and added some suggested code from a smugmug forum so they song would only play on my homepage. The problem is that it comes out on every page, which wouldn't necessarily be a problem but whenever I click to get a new gallery the song restarts and is very annoying. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I would love music on my site and know that most lifestyle photographers who focus primarily on children have music on their sites.

Thanks,
Marisa Cigarroa Heymach

It is difficult to help without a link to your site. But here's a start.

Add a div to your CSS for your music, something like:

#myMusic {
    display: none;
}
 
.homepage #myMusic {
    display: block;
}

Then surround your music code (and I think placing it in your footer should be OK) with div tags, like this:

<div id="myMusic">
your music code here
</div>

If that doesn't work, please add a link to your site to your signature (or to your post, but signature is preferred since it will always be there). I'm sure someone will step in to help at that point. It won't be me though because I can't stand music on web sites and I won't corrupt my web viewing experience with someone else's choice of music. If I open a web page that starts playing music my immediate reaction is to close it.

Thanks Denise. I will try your suggestions, and thanks for replying, despite my lack of links. I am still new at posting.
