   SRC=wav, mp3 or midi file
   LOOP=-1 | -2 | n

-2 will replay the sound until another sound is called.
n will replay the sound n times
Otherwise the sound will be played one time.
The sound toolbar will not be shown.

Playing video files: see also Playing Video, Sound, Flash and Acrobat files

<A HREF= *.exe|*.bat [Parameter]>...</A>

The program will be executed. Parameter is a file that will be opened.

<A HREF= *.chm>...</A>

The help file will be opened.

<A HREF= *.mid|*.wav|*.mp3>...</A>

The sound will be played. To control sound playing the Target parameter can be used. More information

<A HREF= *.pop>...</A>

The message included before the .POP extension will be displayed in a pop-up Window. 

<A HREF= *.tel>...</A>

The telephone number included before the .TEL extension will be dialed. The last number of the telephone number may be the COMM port. Example

                    543-00082.tel

This will dial the 543-0008 number using COM2.

Rotative banners>(Random images and links)

This is an anchor or an image element pointing to multiple pages or images that are randomly chosen.
<IMG SRC=im1.gif,img2,im3.gif>

or

<A HREF=aa.htm,bb.htm,cc.htm,dd.htm,ee.htm>

In both cases, each time the link is clicked or the image is loaded, one of the files will be randomly chosen and displayed.

<PAGE>

The <PAGE> tag causes printing to end on the current page and a new page started. It has no effect on the displayed document.

<THEAD><TBODY><TFOOT>   (printing)

If the table is split between pages when printing, the table portion on each page will have its own header and footer section.
For best results, note the following hints and restrictions:

Only the outer table will have headers and footers. Nested tables are unaffected.
When practical, use the style 

tr {page-break-inside: avoid;}

to avoid splitting rows at page boundaries.
Table are pieced together when printing. Avoid table background images which may not match between sections. Table background colors are unaffected.
