Adding Multimedia to website

Get Started
1

I have just about finished reading Ian Lloyd’s book “Build Your Own Website the Right Way”, but there’s nothing about adding multimedia (music, videos, etc). Does anyone know what available resources are out there that covers this topic? I would prefer another sitepoint book, as I’ve found Mr. Lloyd’s book very helpful and beginner friendly.

Thanks

Unfortunately it’s a bit more complex than that. Maybe this will help http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/object/demo

Hi Gollyfluff, welcome to the forums,

Short answer: Add an <object> tag where you want the media to be.

Of course it’s a bit more complicated that that, but if you have any problems try searching/starting a thread in the Design Your Site forum.

So what would the object tags be for a sound file/video file?

Would it look something like this:

<music>music file link</music>
<video>video file link</video>
