Playing wave

[Walter100]

I have a file name track1.wav I want to place a link on my website that once the user clicks on that link that track1.wav will start playing how can I do this?

There are a number of ways to do it (Java applets, ActiveX etc - even bgsound...); but if they all sound a bit far off for you just now, then by far the easiest solution is to just link to the file! The browser chooses which application/plugin to play the media in (In IE's case, it's Media Player); and the it is simply played in a seperate, non-browser window.

For example:

<a href="sound.wav">Click here!</a> would load up the file "sound.wav" into MP, if the browser was IE.
