Hi:


We have a huge problem that we can't figure out. We have a website that
needs music but it is all PHP and no flash (which would be a no brainer for
this one) and they need to have music with an MP3 player. We got the player
and everything we need, however, what we can't figure out is how to make the
MP3 player stay playing the same song when people switch pages. Yes I know
we can make a popup that opens in the background (and we have) but that is
not an elegant or viable solution because of popup blockers and plane
ugliness. We need some kind of code that lets the player be independent of
the page switching without a popup (maybe an AJAX popup which is very
acceptable). We have tried frames and frames and it does not work well and
it does not look good. An AJAX popup like the one Google uses in Gmail that
stays open and steady when switching pages would be ideal and welcomed if
anyone knows the code, or any other code that allows for elegant
presentation and no traditional popups.



I welcome all advice! Thank you!

you have to pass the seek position around but because of the buffering and
so, your music will be stopped for a short time.
so I suggest you to use frame, iframe or new window.

Re: How do you segregate MP3 player so it keeps playing

Hi Rey,

as Tyrael suggested I would try to use a frameset with one frame at the top containing the player and another one right below with the content of the web page. But why avoiding using flash? Have a look at this page:

http://www.nature-one.de/events/mayday/index.html?/events/ma yday/deutsch/_livezone.htm

The flash player is really minimalistic but is just right for this kind of job and it does not have a big impact on the page layout.

GMail uses iframes to divide navigation, page elements and mail content, but if you know how to handle frames, you won't even recognize that they are used on a web page.
