I know this may be a silly question.

Is there a way that I can make a drop down list form, where I can have people choose what song they would like to listen to when they enter my site? Not using javascript.

Thanks

Just when I thought it was over, I found out it was the beggining.

Sounds like you're interested in learning more about the SELECT control. Check out the following overview regarding forms in general, including a couple simple examples of using SELECT.

Even though the samples say they require IE 4 or later, most of them are applicable to most modern browsers.

If you aren't using javascript, you'll need to do something server side, eg. ASP, PHP, PERL, JSP, et al. Although, browers supporting music tend to support javascript, so it is probably the best approach.

Also, unless done properly, music can be increadably annoying. It is best if you A) don't enable music by default, as many people prefer to listen to their own music while browsing B) put the music in a frame or popup so the music doesn't restart when the user changes pages.

The particular site I am working on, the user can't use javascript. And I can't do anything server side, which blows. So I guess i'll have to try what wranlon suggested.

Wranlon's suggestion uses JavaScript as well. You need or JavaScript or something serverside to make this happen.

A user who can't use JavaScript? They disabled it, right? Why do the impossible then.. its a consequence of their own choices.

Unless the system admin blocked JavaScript.. then it's his/her fault
