Web Animation and Sound Advice Sought

anyone here got any tips on adding animation and
sound to your website?

i'm looking for the simplest way possible.

using raw HTML coding (windows notepad-generated).

Do you know any DHTML?

not yet. just basic HTML.

i handcode in microsoft notepad text files.

i have a brandnew copy of Frontpage still shrinkwrapped in the box, but
i'd rather build things from the ground up. it helps my creativity
develop.

i was considering buying Dreamweaver, etc., but right now i just want
to handcode it all.

here's what i'm trying to accomplish:

upon someone landing on my website, i want to:

1] automatically toggle a few jpegs

Easy.

i would assume so. but what are the tags for it?

can i get them at w3schools.com? probably.

but which ones would YOU recommend?


Do you mean pick one at random or go through a slideshow
type thing. Either way, it's easy enough.

slideshow.

though naturally, i'd like to know the other as well.

2] have a sound file play in the background

Easy. But fucking annoying. Don't do it.

was it it annoying?

anyway, this is for a multimedia type presentation.

audio is a good thing in that circumstance.

automatically, as soon as someone lands on the site.

also, i'd like to use very low resource-hog ways to do
this in order to be compatible with as many browsers/
users as possible. unless, are broadband connections
the only feasible way for soundfiles?

Not if the soundfiles are very low fi.

how low? what frequency range? like telephone quality?

that'd be fine.

yes, i know, research it myself. i am.

i'm just looking for a few tips from anyone here who
already has some experience in it.

i'm entering a contest with prize money, etc. so,
anyone who wants to go partners with me is welcome
to come aboard for all the fun (and possible splitting
of any prizes) -- or you can just offer me a few tips
just for the heck of it, because you're so generous
and helpful and whatnot.

i have a really neat idea for this thinger.

see above. and thanks.

i'm entering the HuffPo contest.
