How to Play sound file in a web-page in the background Automatically when the webpage open??

I want to play a sound file on my web-page in the back-ground(don't want Media player UI to appear), my web-site will run on Fire-Fox, i used the Embed element and set the Hidden attribute to be true <embed name="myMusic" src="Masgon.mp3" type="audio/midi" autostart="false" Hidden="true" loop="true"></embed> the problem is that no sound is played unless i removed the hidden attribute on this case the sound file is played and the media player UI appears but i don't want that.

You can use the audio element. https://www.sololearn.com/learn/HTML/2193/ If you don't want it to appear, you can try setting visibility: hidden in the CSS rules. You can add the autoplay attribute to make it start playing as soon as the page loads.

Sonu Kumar To tell you the truth, I don't know, but I can't think of any other way. You can try it to see if it works.

Delete the visibility: hidden rule and see if an audio element appears. If it appears, try to play the music.

Then you need a different approach. Check out this code which uses background music (especially the song and change functions) https://code.sololearn.com/Wis4OmrSYmM9/?ref=app
