I put numerous pictures on individual pages of their own and the page the current picture is on calls the next picture page after so much time. I have 2 Iframes on my index page that these rotate in. The entire system works beautifully. However whenever they rotate the computer makes a clicking noise which becomes irritating. Have I done something wrong a setting maybe or is this the way it will always be? If so why is that?

Can you post a link to your page? I sure would like to hear that click. That is not normal, so you may have included something to do that.

If you are using IE, this is a characteristic of that browser. It happens whenever IE opens a new window or changes the window contents.

The example of page redirection in the tutorials: Help Tutorials > "More About Links" > "Redirect to New Location" (bottom) shows the effect that I imagine you are hearing.

You should be able to change this sound on your computer by setting a new (or no) "System Sound" from the Windows Control Panel > Audio etc. This won't help your visitors however -- you just have to hope they don't find it as annoying as you do

Does the same sound occur when browsing the web and locating different sites etc?

If so, Bruce's answer is correct.

If not, reply to Larry.

Thank you for the info.

Wow, after all these years I'd never noticed that. I have always turned off the Windows Explorer Start Navigation sound, so I never knew that IE used it when opening its windows.

Wow love your site. I went to buy something, but you are still under construction.

My grandmother loves those doily things. I wanted to get her one. I like them too. They make the home feel so homey.

Good luck. Get it done soon.

Sincerely,

When you are trying to give your customers a good experience - it can be irritating.
Thank you for at least looking into my problem.

I have not found this noise on many other websites - for example I am inserting one for Joan's Fabrics http://www.joann.com/joann there are others in crafts that also don't make the clicking noise. Is it possible these are movies. some kind of photo album or something along that line. Any help would be appreciated. I just hate to give up on this when there might be a solution.

I hear clicks on your joann pages too -- they happen just as you click on a link.

They are much more obvious on a slideshow type page as the window refreshes automatically and every few seconds. Here is another example that is equally annoying. The guilty slideshow is about half-way down the page.

There may be non i-frame methods you could use to achieve the same effect without the clicks. Can you post a link to your slideshow page?
