Music throughout site with frames

[tizbo1423]

hi, i'm semi new to web design and am using dreamweaver to put together a site for a client. i do more of the design sign and never really get into the development of a site so I don't know much when it comes to that.

I am trying to have a song play throughout the website. So when a user goes to the site, a song will play, and continue to play as they navigate through the other pages of the site without the track restarting. I've been doing some searching on this and i'm seeing a lot of talk about using frames that won't change as the site pages change, but none really explain hooowww to do it.

can anyone send me in the direction of figuring how exactly i make a framed website that has a non-moving/reloading frame in it to hold the music player?

thanks in advance!!

I made a demo of a site for someone that was this exact description. http://christophermacdonald.net/test/jazz/

thats pretty much, perfect!

now, how do i do that? i'm trying to look at the CSS and code, but again.. newb over here can't figure out much..

there's a frame set view source of test.html to see that then the left and right side bars are full.html the top left is nav.html below that is player.html the top is top.html and the content is in content.html pretty sure those are all them if you look at the frame set code you'll see where these all load i didn't write the frameset though that was down like 5 threads from snookerman (i believe?) i modified it.

ok, so i build a frameset in Dreamweaver. I put all my source html files in the correct frame.

but how do i have it so that when the user clicks on a different page, the page loads in the "content" frame and doesn't open a new window for it?

sorry if i'm missing the obvious here.

another issue i might run into is that i already have the site built, the whole idea of background music was an afterthought. here's the site if that helps/explains my issue better.

in the frame set you'll see the content window has a name i think it's "Main". In the nav bar and anything that links has a target="Main" this makes it load up in that window. load nav.html code and frameset code and you'll see what i mean i think.
