soooo despite my begging and pleading, a client of mine has decided he wants background music on his static html website....now, is there any solutions you guys have figured out that i could use in order to have the music NOT start all over again every time the viewer goes to another page? the only solution i can think of, is to put an iframe at the top/bottom of the page that has the controls for the music, but i have a hatred for iframes and would like to find (if possible) another solution
maybe a cookie that gets set the first time it plays and then checks for the cookie? Session variable?
Not sure how this would pan out, but off the top of my head you could probably use a little flash player as the music player which saves data (ie. track location) to an LSO (Local Shared Object) as it plays and on refresh of the page it checks the LSO to see where it was in the music track and continues to play from there.
I have done a site for a guitar maker with music through-out. After some research I did end up using frames - it was the easiest.
You can also tell your client that this will make site harder to index for search engines - generally this puts stop to their evil plans. 
sites been done for a while now, i finally convinced him not to have music in the background
