I uploaded it again, it seems it didn't load correctly, but would that
code work? HTMLdog.com doesn't appear to have the code for adding
background music...This is for a class, and I just need to have an
"enhancement" so I thought I'd throw in music.

I definitely agree...but like I said, it's just for a class. And I'm
not really sure what an "enhancement" entails....? Unless you've got
any ideas??

Great idea, so is the code that they would click to link the same as if
I were linking to another image or page?
