EMBEDing a Plug-in in FrontPage 97

How to add Plugins (the HTML EMBED TAG) in FrontPage97

As an alternative to this procedure, you can copy the EMBED tag code directly into the HTML for your page (see Editing or Viewing HTML). If adding the plugin for a sound file, don't forget to remove any background sound from the Page Properties popup.

Directly inserting a plugin in FronPage 97

1.   Open your file in the FrontPage editor.
     
2.   Move your cursor on the page to where you want to insert the plugin.
     
3.   Click on the Insert Menu, then click on the Other Components sub-menu, then click on the Plug-in sub-sub-menu item.
     
4.   The Plugin Properties dialog will appear.
     
5.   Fill in your xxx.wav or xxx.mid file name as the 'Data Source'.
     
6.   In the field 'Message for browsers without Plug-In' support fill in:

<bgsound src="xxx.mid" loop="infinite">

     
7.   Set the Hieght to 60, and Width to 200, or whatever you like.
     
8.   Click on the Extended button on the bottom.
     
9.   The Extended Attributes dialog pop-ups up, this is where you add the other parameters for the plugin embed tag.
     
10.   Click on Add, the Name/Value pair dialog appears. Fill in Name with the word autostart, fill in Value with the word true. Front page will automatically put the quotes around the value when it generates the HTML. Press OK.
     
11.   Click on Add. Fill in the Name with the word loop, fill in Value with the word true. Press OK.
     
12.   Press OK on the Extended Attributes dialog.
     
13.   Press OK on the Plug-in Properties dialog.
     
14.   Youll see a plug-in symbol on your page in the FrontPage editor.
     
15.   Don't forget to remove the background sound from the Page Properties popup.
