Need some help with this code

[MoMoMajor]

Ok this code is motly javascript but I think I am missing something in php also.

 

So basically it is a mousover script that plays music when i mouse over a link and I had it working perfectly on my local setup but It doesn't work online.

 

<span><a onmouseover="playfx('sound/<?php echo $_GET['category']; ?>.mp3')" id='fxsound' onmouseout="playfx('')"></a></span>

 

thats the code in the html

 

and this is the javascript

 

function playfx(sound) {
        var loop = true;
        surl = '<embed src="'+sound+'" loop="'+loop+'" hidden="false" autostart="true" height="0" width="0" type="audio/mpeg">';
        document.getElementById("fxsound").innerHTML = surl;		
}

I have a feeling that this will not be a progressive download. So on your live server it's trying to download the whole song before it plays it.

 

To test for this get a tiny sound clip that you know would download in a few seconds and try it.

Sorry but

<?php echo $_GET['category']; ?>

doesn't make it a PHP issue,

Dude, think about this for a second. Every mouseover and leave, you are injecting code to start steaming a flash file. For this to work at all, you will need to leave your mouse over the element for awhile, long enough for the file to download
