Thanks again Nancy, for your patience. Interesting to hear that your browser does not play the mp3s where my browsers do play them...(Errors are a bit scandalous, but people are able to see my work in general).   From my perspective i'm like the tourist in a strange land just trying to get by without mastery of the local language.  The Muse program looks like a foreign language to study, without certainty of outcomes, for me. I wish they could have brought back something more like Site Mill of 20+ years ago. In any case, DW CS 5.5 is still usable, where mp3s play on a separate page.  I will assume your players are just not backward compatible for use in my rambling WYSIWYG style, (as a stranger in a strange land).  Bo ...

Nancy, Appreciating your good will, may i add one more question to this.   Your method worked so well to start the page off with 2 audio files...  I was almost able to continue adding more audios, by copy pasting another one or two at the bottom of page, up until i added a picture, followed by guesses at which code items needed to be where.  Problem is that the "Design" display option - button - does not show how the audio will appear in Dreamweaver, but does show up in the browser and on line. Bo's 2018 Blog Page So my question is: Can you tell me what went wrong? I can live with results as long as i can get some control of pictures, text and audio. Thanks for that. I would buy the upgrade if i can get much better WYSIWYG control... Is there a Youtube showing how this is done on Mac, especially a 2001 Mac (with latest O SX). Bo Atkinson ... View more

Thanks so much Nancy! You made this so easy and your version even looks more crisp than the older play boxes! (Ones which i previously saw around the web). Kudos to Dreamweaver, with legendary, inner workings, still surviving the major-web-shifts, of 20 years! Thanks also to Adobe for keeping good essentials durable, for spend thrift WYSIWYG users. If i could please ask one more question concerning an additional problem: On my 2 browsers, your kindly provided code loads the new update of today. Great. However i had to scan the menus to locate a "reload button". Otherwise the old html version of 2 weeks ago persisted in my browsers. Is there a code to paste in the html file, which will tell a visiting user's browser to check for and to download the latest-current -version of the html file?  That is, not to use any earlier saved versions lingering somewhere...  Basically to assure that the latest html file is loaded. I am generally  not concerned that my pages might load slowly, for this assurance. I am far more concerned that my corrected typos and updates are seen immediately. Your patience is very much appreciated. Bo Atkinson ... View more

To Nancy OShea Sorry if this post was attempted already before and duplicates my first post (which now seems absent). I tried to paste your code into my DW 5.5 webpage, but this does not work. Here is my webpage start up, which sends viewers to a second "page-window" for each mp3. http://harmoniouspalette.com/NU~U~U~Ubabes.html (I see now the title needs fixing , etc...) I tried the linked html inside my Mac where it does not work, while the current version plays both on web and on my Mac. Any insights to make this work would be appreciated.  Thanks so much. ...

To Jon Fritz, thanks... Granted DW5.5 was years ago and furthermore it is a 20+ year old interface, tweaked into 5 years past... I hope to avoid learning new tricks. I barely learned anything in the last 6 years, avoiding it I should admit.  ... View more

Hi, I tried to choose the "other reply" assuming it is the reply with code to copy paste.  I tried it both with the quotation marks and without the quotation marks. Neither works for me. I want to build a webpage with lots of simple little players, gradually,  for people to easily sample short clips. I don't want couplex playlist options or scripts. Just the simplest little player possible, (great if it can play on most devices and without special  options for user to learn about). I have copyright permission from a text author, to include these player, text-to-speech samples of their writings. One of those little boxes with start-stop button, (not to automatically begin when the page opens). Dreamweaver is supposed to be WYSIWYG for people who don't want to memorize all this code perfection. Is there a copy paste thing I can paste my mp3 titles into a larger, precise code statement? It sounded like the original post asked for this, but what am I doing wrong? I I copy paste the suggested text, please. ... View more

Personally i prefer old fashioned html: Start a new webpage. Add any number of pictures with text in between each picture (image). Start multiple pages, each to represent an individual gallery. It really depends on how many art-works you will add over time: Just a few? Or will your collection grow into hundreds? Make your home page a menu for the other pages. "Menu" is a huge subject and after more than a decade watching the available options for menus, it is clear to me that menus can become a nightmare for an artist's free form creativity, if an artist keeps expanding creatively. Name each page with a specific gallery name. Or devote each page to one picture with text. Use links below at bottom of page, to see other pictures. Yet after you have hundreds of pictures to show, it is easier to use one page for a menu, or several separate pages to contain differing collections or galleries. Another serious issue is the resolution of picture and it's file size... Photoshop is great for reducing file size, while maintaining acceptable resolution. Yet recall that the viewer might have a very low resolution display... Frankly, it is hard to see advantage in using more complex code than that. Unless you want pop ups, vidoe, of frame-styles like printed magazines, or specialized publications... Trouble with these special stylizations is that these do restrict your content to users with similar computer set ups and great web connections. The audience has to update their computer to see all the latest jazzy code correctly. If the view has substancially different OS versions, the jazzy code won't display properly. Chances are the person you want to reach will find you on some sort of future phone thingy.  Chances are that web connections can fluctuate a lot, viewer computers might be more limited and all for so many reasons. One's targeted audience can also be difficult to reach for many other diverse reasons, in addition to technical web options.  One shoe cannot fit all artists, nor can it fit all gallery goers, nor all ages, nor all cultures. Therefore, html is the most common denominator. ... View more
