hi

i have the following code which works fine in IE but nothing happens in firefox.

Code:

<html>
<bgsound id="sound">
<script>
function PlaySound(url) {
document.all.sound.src = url;
}
</script>

<body>

<a href="#"><img src="images/butters.jpg" onMouseOver="PlaySound('http://www.pacdv.com/sounds/sounds/sound38.mp3')" /></a>
</body>
</html>

Any one know of any good ways to make sound work in firefox?

Try the code demonstrated here. It isn't widely tested yet, but may be of use:

I have tried this link and the mouse over sounds do not work in FireFox 4.

I am developing a haunted forest web site and the client wants a scream.wav when the user hovers over a link. I have searched and searched and found nothing to make it work in FireFox.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

'bgsound' is for IE only. Add an empty span to your page and then use the mouse-over to insert an embed-ded sound file to this span. The script should be within the <head> tag of your page:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function PlaySound(url) {
	document.getElementById("sound").innerHTML="<embed src=\""+url+"\" hidden=\"true\" autostart=\"true\" loop=\"false\" />";
}
</script>

// and the HTML:

<body>
<span id="sound"></span>
<a href="#"><img src="images/butters.jpg" onMouseOver="PlaySound('http://www.pacdv.com/sounds/sounds/sound38.mp3')" /></a>

</body>

If it doesn't work it may be because you're using an mp3 file. Try it first with a simpler .wav file. Otherwise, you may need to confiugure FF to play mp3 files.

Added: Yeah, works for me in IE, FF and Chrome
