HANDS-ON PRACTICE 11.2
In this Hands-On Practice you will create a Web page that displays a controller to play
a sound (see Figure 11.3). If you have not done so already, copy the music.mp3 or
music2.mp3 sound file from the Chapter11 folder in the student files and save it to
disk. Launch Notepad or another text editor and create a Web page that contains the
heading Playing Sounds with the Object Tag and uses the
element’s autoplayvalue to configure the sound to automatically play
when the page loads. Use the element’s loopvalue to cause the sound to
loop continuously. Save your page as object.html and test it in a browser. Try to test
your page in different browsers and browser versions. Compare your work to the sam-
ple in the student files (Chapter11/object.html).
