mp3 player in iframe?

This is issue has been bugging me forever! Plus, I'm sure you guys are sick of seeing this topic come up. I don't know why but I cannot get my flash mp3 player to load properly into an iframe.

Here is the site: http://duffyartwork.com.

All I need is for the mp3 is to simply stop reloading everytime a user browses to a different page on the site so the song stops refreshing.

Can someone please just give me a straight forward answer for this. I hate to beat a dead horse but it would be so awesome not to have to worry about this anymore.

Ive attached the source code and marked the spot where I believe the code should go...

Thanks a million in advance!

I think the only way to get something to "play" continuously, while the user is browsing a website, is to use frames. Not "iFrames", but actual frames. That way you can surf the website and that part of the page is visible constantly. Well unless the user goes elsewhere Wink

Could you (or someone) help me out with the code structure for this? I'm having trouble.

Probably using a footer frame might be better

I try to insert a midi sound into the nested frame but fail. But it works in the main page (index.htm).

<head>
<bgsound src="../httpdocs/698.mid" loop="-1">
</head>

Help please and thanks.

You can put something like this on a page that is called into a frame that will remain constant throughout (menu, header, or footer, not main as it will change)

How to make the console wider? I try to change the width, but nothing change at all. And the volume is always at the bottom position, what I want is at top position.

Thanks in advance.

Code:

What browser are you testing it in? Have you considered using Flash to play it? Flash Video MX Pro is a good program and you can tell it to place the play bar at the top.
