SYMPTOMS
When you load a Web page that contains a background sound, the background
sound may not be played.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if there is a space in the file name of the sound
file listed in the <BGSOUND> HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) tag.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, contact the Administrator of the Web site and
request the Web page be updated using one of the following methods:
- Rename the file so that its name does not contain any spaces and
adjust the Web page source accordingly.
- Change the file name in the <BGSOUND> tag, replacing spaces with
"%20" (for example: <BGSOUND SRC="my%20wave%20file.wav">).
