Enlighten us, a URL.


The site hasn't even started being built yet, so there is no URL.

To recap, here is what I would like:

Page loads, sounds are off
A link on the page saying "Sound: ON / OFF"
When sounds are switched on, and a user clicks a hyperlink, it plays said sound *AND* takes them to that hyperlink's URL

Surely not rocket science?

Ah be there lies the rub, see in the past to make this work it was very browser dependent with proprietary elements and all, and now with new more standardized browsers (real web browsers) a lot of the old methods will just not work. Period. So if you feel you must, then I'd say flash is your best option. At least your visitors will know what is coming and can bail if they wish.

Take care,
