I use the frontpage 2000 page properties menu to embed
music (appears as <bgsound src="http://midifileX" loop="-
1"> in HTML code) as it is much neater than the
javascript method, however is there any way for users to
be able to click on a link and instantly stop my
background music from playing- the javascript method can
do this but I can't find a way of doing it for the FP
method
 
1) For the Embed tag (not the bgsound tag) for the sound add the hidden attribute and 0 sizes
and apply a name to your sound (say "noSound")
<embed src="../sounds/alhambra.mid" name="noSound" autostart="true"
volume="50" loop="true" width="0" height="0" align="center" hidden>

2) Then Insert a "no sound" image or text on the page and then add an onclick event:
<img border="0" src="../images/bt_noplay.gif"
onclick="document.noSound.stop();return true;" alt="Stop Music"
align="absmiddle" width="20" height="20">

3) Or if you are using frames in the head section of one frame add:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!-- Hide It:
// Where "pgmain" below is the name of the frame containing the embed tag
function killSound() { parent.pgmain.embeds['noSound'].stop(); }
// Show It: --></script>

Then in the body of the same frame add a link:
<a href="javascript:killSound()"><img border="1"
src="../images/bt_noplay.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="Stop Music" hspace="3"
width="20" height="20"></a>

Or for Text:
<a href="javascript:killSound()">No Sound</a>
