how to disable click sound

arfur · 14 May 2010 at 16:13

is there a way to stop the clicking noise IE makes when a page is refreshed? I'm using dreamweaver and I have a page that loads another page every x sec's but I want it to do it without the noise.

thanks

Control panel > sound > sounds. Scroll down to start navigation select none and apply, job done.

It's in Windows sounds, it's the wav that is linked to the 'Start' sound I think.

I want it to apply to any PC that loads the page over the net, not on the local PC. I know how to add sounds to links etc but cant find the option for onload or refresh.

You can't do that.

AJAX would be the best solution.

why?

surely if I can change the clicked link sound then there should be an option for the refresh/load sound? even if I link it to a blank mp3 file

As above, you cannot. It would be along the same lines as forcing someone's PC to change the resolution. It's just not possible.

Edit:

All you could do with a clicked link sound is have a sound file attached to an onclick event, it would play overtop of the normal click sound, but it wouldn't remove it.
As Spunkey has suggested, use ajax to dynamically update it.

Only way it might be done is to have a div that reloads its content periodically somehow, but that's another thread altogether.
