Pages that beep on cell phones
February 2, 2007 11:42 AM Subscribe
I'm trying to build a web page that beeps for some testing I am doing. Not a problem, you might think: just embed a beepy .wav file. But I need the page to beep in all web browsers, including the crappy ones on cell phones that don't work with embedded files. Any suggestions?
I'm pretty sure there's no way to make a web page that makes my phone beep, period.

3rding the notion that you won't make mobile phones beep. Sorry.

Well, Lynx you can at least send ^G's to, right? (It's been a while....)

Response by poster: adamrice: no Lynx required, but it would need to work with all embedded cell phone browsers

Yeah, that would be a definite no.

n-thing the "no". The mobile phone thing just isn't going to happen.

I'm not up on all the phone browsers, but if they don't support any embedded files, including Flash, then I think you might be SOL. I don't think there's a way to make plain HTML beep.
