sound with javascript?

[alaios]

I want to play a sound file using Javascript ....How can i do this?

[GDS]

Try something like this:

<EMBED
SRC="mysong.mid"
HIDDEN=true
AUTOSTART=true
REPEAT=true
height="0"
width="0">
<NOEMBED>
<BGSOUND SRC="mysong.mid" loop="infinite">
</NOEMBED>

That's an excellent way to make your visitors leave immediately!.

For Pete's sake and your visitors, don't start the muzik when they enter...and use an "On/Off" button/link, too.

<embed id="plyr" width="0" height="0" autostart="false" loop="true" src="lol.wav"><b>

<a href="javascript: document.getElementById('plyr').play();">start</a>

<a href="javascript: document.getElementById('plyr').stop();">stop</a>

I am having trouble trying to use your code with netscape. Whenever I do I get the following error:

Error: document.getElementById("plyr").play is not a function


What am I doing wrong?

Are you using Netscape 4.x ?

Only modern browsers use getElementById(), Netscape 4.x is obsolete now. ;)

Netscape 7.0

how would you make it so that the sound playes once, and than the sound can be repeated when wanted, or changed to a different sound and repeated.
would it just be making the loop = "false" and when the play() is used it would play it once, and play again when the play() is used again?

this could be useful for making a game, or somekind of javascript menue that makes sound

scratch that question, I just solved it myself. (the answer is true)

I'm using IE6 ( WinXP ) and I get the same error message!
