HTML question

I'm using Internet Explorer. Let's say I have an mp3 playing in the background of a page. How do I have the song play along as I click on multiple links, uninterrupted?

I THINK shift-click opens a new window in IE.

In Firefox all you'd have to do is middle-click and go to another tab. We're not talking about that, though.

Edit: Yeah, shift-click.

Double Edit: What does this have to do with HTML?

It's not possible to keep it playing while switching pages unless you open the pages in seperate windows/tabs.

If you are programming a website and looking how to do it then your best bet would be to make only one part of the page refresh another page and leave the main index page as the page that plays the song.

Do you have any info on how to do this?

Frames, although I wouldn't use them as they're on the way out.

If you do, you have two options.

1. Make a frameset (with the Frame Doc Type) and make a 'hidden' frame that doesn't show but does load. Put the music on that page and have the frame in view be the main page.

2. I Frames. It would allow you to embed a frame into the actual page.

In the iFrames case, you'd have to make a page for every other content page you have (with only the content). You'd also need the frames to be static on the page.
