Q:

Soundcloud link embed

I am a High School student, and in my Web Design course, we are having a genius hour project. Also known as 20% time, we take an hour every Friday in order to create our own website. For mine, I'm making a website called  stressreliefsounds  . Now, as you can see, I have the soundcloud player with one set programmed in. However, what I wish to do is to create a text field on the home page where a user can place their own set, then choose their own background from a list. I am a fairly new programmer, and so far, everything I've tried has been a bust. Thanks for any help!

A:

An input element inside a form:
<form action="index.php" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="search" placeholder="Search Sounds..." />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search!" />
</form>

Then you'll have to use the SoundCloud Search API found here: http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs#search
What it looks like you have to do, is register a SoundCloud App with your account, and that'll allow people to search SoundCloud on your behalf. Then your form on your site will have to send the data to SoundCloud through this API and you output the search results to your site for people to choose from.
For a Novice programmer, you're diggin into some major stuff. Kudos, hope this helps!
