May 22, 201016 yr Hello, I don't think this is possible, but I thought I'd ask... It's just a little theory really. I'd like a play and a stop button on my website, accompanied by the text, "A little Music?". You press play and the music plays. - So far so good! The tricky part is, if you click to other pages on the site, the music continues! If you want to stop the music you press the stop button. Although the pages have different content, the play and stop buttons are roughly in the same place, so the listener can easily find them. I don't really want this to happen in a pop up window because I think the user might lose track of it, and then not be able to stop the music (annoying). Obviously, as you go to a new page, the refresh will stop the music playing. So, is there another way to make this possible, without using out-dated and frowned upon technology like frames? I think the answer is no, but I thought I'd appeal to the collective wisdom of this forum. Many thanks in advance! --wibblywobbly.
May 22, 201016 yr There's a bunch of ways of making it happen. Off the top of my head, if you were using something like PHP and SoundManager it should be easy enough to pass the current position of the song through each page so that it continues from the same place it left off on.
May 22, 201016 yr I actually read about this yesterday. If I could remember where I read the article I would give you the link. Of what I remember reading from the article, it was using jQuery to emulate page effects.
May 25, 201016 yr You could have the page contents as either a php include or in a database and use AJAX to load the content.
May 28, 201016 yr Did anyone figure this out? we7.com does a similar thing. I'm working on my brother's band website and want to add music to the site and something like that would be ideal.
