h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Back to my old computer now PP&L and the sound on your page is a little nifty.

I forgot to say MM, the link is on my page under How2H2G2.

All ready seen it pastey, and it is really good, i'll refer all newbies that ask me questions to it (although that'll dent my reputation as a problem solver....)
nah, really, it is VERY good.

I think something like this would help reputations as problem solvers, most of the quick easy ones can go there leaving us with the more meaty ones that we can really get our teeth into.

Ahh, yes....
now that's what i call thinking...
Why didn't i ever think of that?
I think my mind must be too highly refined....

BTW, Pastey, the smileys you've put, and all, well, they are wrong, they only work with a nose, ie ; - )

Right, give me five mins and I'll fix it.
I only ever really use the fish you see.

The fish is the only one i don't actually use (well, i don't use much either, but then, i'm not usually unhappy around here...)

All fixed, I think.
Anything else you think should go on, just let us know.

Okay, I'll keep my scrutinizing eye out. Always glad to help

Thanks for the help people - I believe most newbies are quite happy when they first join up but when they go wandering a little a whole new world opens up. Naturally they want to be part of it. Happened to me anyway!!

Cool. I've been looking for that sort of code. What's all that hidden="true" business about?

Right, here is the code that WORKS.
I've checked it out in both IE and Nuts and it works, you just need to change the URLs of the sound (twice) and the picture. You'll have to let me know if it works within H2G2 though,



<!--

function player() {

var MSIE=navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE");
var NETS=navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Netscape");
var OPER=navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera");
if((MSIE>-1) || (OPER>-1)) {
document.write("");
} else {
document.write("");
}
}

// -->




That hidden true thingy tells the browser that it is not to display that line of code on the page, it just keeps the page a bit cleaner, that's all.

Thanx Pastey, i'll try that code now.
