Name

LOOP — NN n/a IE 3 HTML n/a

Synopsis

LOOP=integer
                  

Optional

Defines the number of times the sound plays. If the attribute is absent or is present with any value other than -1, the sound plays at least once. Assigning a value of -1 means that the sound plays until the page is unloaded. Contrary to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer SDK information, there does not appear to be a way to precache the sound without having it start playing.

Example

<BGSOUND SRC="tunes/mazeppa.mid" LOOP=3>

Value

No value assignment necessary for a single play. A value of 0 still causes a single play. Values above zero play the sound the specified number of times. Assign -1 to have the sound play indefinitely.

Default

-1
