Sound clip needs to load last

Les Juby · Oct 2, 2005

Hi

A clint has insisted we load a babbling brook sound clip to his home
page but it needs to load last to avoid delays in loading images and
other elements.

Simply declaring it at page bottom doesn't help much. Tried a few
code snips found here and there but with lirrle success.

Pretty bog standard coding, and the requirement is for IE-6
compatibility minimum.

Any suggestions please.?

thanks

OK, then load it last, after the page has loaded, via the onload attribute.

Did you try the resource that you were pointed to the last time you
asked this same exacty question (3 days ago no less).

Yes. Several:

1) Read the reply to the last time you asked this.
2) Attempt to read replies to you before reposting the same exact question.
3) Barring that, RTFM.
