Re: music autoloading Yes, you annoy a) people on dialup who have to wait for the sound file to load, even if they don't want to hear it, and b) people in a location where the sound might be inappropriate. I would never put sound onto a page in a manner that doesn't allow the user the choice to listen to it. (Trivia: I spoke to one woman who explained that her husband was surprised to hear "porn-type" music coming from the cubicle of another worker. I then asked her "how he knew what porn-music sounds like". I fear I got some poor guy in trouble.) Don
