music background with mute

Hello,

I need help with putting music background on the html page with the mute button.

Thanks

This practice died out 15 years ago, why do you want to put music on your website?

It gives some life to the website & my friend asked me to do this

[ManiacDan]

it would be easier to explain to your friend that websites simply do not do this anymore.  The only site that still plays embedded music is myspace, and nobody goes there.

 

However, if you really must do this, use an <embed> tag to load the music, then to mute it you:

 

var player = document.getElementById("theEmbedObjectId");
player.stop();

You should just put a meta redirect that will send them back to where they came from after about 2-3 seconds. It will save the users the trouble of clicking the back button themselves, since that's what people do as soon as uninvited music starts playing anyhow.

The question you asked was for the mute functionality, which I've now given you.  Auto-playing music does not "give life to the website," it makes users leave.  I won't help any further than this.  If you wanted play/pause functionality then asking for it from the beginning would have been good, since then I wouldn't have closed the documentation page that I got the answer from.
