HREF and TARGET allow you to make the media object into a hyperlink. They work just like their counterparts <A HREF="..."> and <A TARGET="...">. Note that you have to click somewhere besides the controls area to follow the link. The use of these attributes in <EMBED ...> is an MSIE extension.
HREF can also be used with a sound, but because the user has to click somewhere besides the controls to follow the link, it is hopelessly difficult to communicate that the sound is a link:
this code
produces this silly link
Click in the sound area but not in
the controls to go to the home page
<EMBED
SRC="../graphics/sounds/helloo.wav"
HREF="../"
HEIGHT=100 WIDTH=144
>
Click in the sound area but not in
the controls to go to the home page
HREF used in <EMBED ...> is probably just getting too fancy. It only works with MSIE, and because it is so unusual, most users won't realize the movie is a link. This is one trick it is probably best to avoid.
