Playing Audio

[mentalist]

Hi,

 

I can embed an audio file and get it to play and stop, but I don't seem to be able to hide the big box it comes with and still play the file... Any ideas?

 

<div style='display:none;'>x<embed id='sound' src='' width='1px' height='1px'></div>
<script>
function PlaySound(url){
document.getElementById('sound').src=url;
}
</script>
<a href="#" onmouseover="PlaySound('src/2_for_joy_-_in_a_state.mp3')">Play</a> 
<a href="#" onmouseover="PlaySound('');">Stop</a>

 

Also how browser safe is the underlying sound playing code?

What do you use to play audio?

I have no idea about sound but you might try this.

 

Just add an ID or Class or whatever to the container. And give it these CSS properties.

 

position:absolute;
left:-100px;

 

Or whatever it takes to get it out of the screen.

Omirion, it's cheeky, but I like it...

 

Many thanks!
