I am working on a page that will be used to display pictures that are on a cd kinda like a photo album. This is not a web page as such.
I would love to add a audio description of the pictures so that when a thumb nail is clicked, not only will a large picture appear but the audio will start....

it really only needs to work with ie as this is what i use

I have never used audio in any way so i have no idea where to start and all my books are on a boat somewhere between NZ and the US......

So if someone could post a code that would start an audio wav file as part of a function, I would be very very greatful

thanks all

Try this:

<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript">
function playWav() {
document.write('<EMBED SRC="MYWAV.wav" HIDDEN="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE" LOOP="FALSE" VOLUME="100%">');
}
</script>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:playWav();"><img src="MYTHUMB.jpg"></a>

mmm don't know what is going on, but when i tryed this on a test page. All that happend is that the link disappeared no sound at all. I made the wav file using window's sound recorder...a file made this way should be ok shouldn't it..???

Oh just tryed it on my wife's computer and it does work on it. Guess there is a problem with my system.... have checked the internet setting and they seem ok so not sure what is going on.

But thanks Willy i will have a play with it.
