: visitors can push them and hear a short extract of music.
: If I save the sound clips as .wav files
: how can I incorporate these files into my web page
: Any help gratefully appreciated

Michael,

Take a look a the answer to the question "How can you control midi or wav files using JavaScript?" at:

http://www.irt.org/script/misc.htm#191

The answer can be adapted by using the onClick event handler of a form button field:

onClick="playSound ()"

This only works in Netscape - I've yet to work out the solution for Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Although the anser looks easy - there is a lot more to it than just document.firstSound.play (false)

Take a look at the article "Writing a midi hifi system in JavaScript" at http://www.irt.org/articles/js090/index.htm, then take a look at the source code of the midi hifi working example.
Follow-ups:
