I would like to have sounds accompany some mouseovers on a site and yet not use Flash. What methods are available for this kind of event-triggered low-delay use of sound on web pages?

if you're making a professional page (unless it's made for entertainment), please don't have it make sounds. that's so annoying - and we know when we're putting our mouse over a link - we don't need a sound to reassure us.

It's a pro page but it is site for children and the sounds not for rollovers in traditional sense but rather for a game sort of thing. Thanks for the link. Looks like it is going to be very useful.

Be mindful of how different browsers render sounds.

For instance, I'm on FF 2.0 and the tutorial at hypergurl does not work.
