Embedded Audio File always plays on load - even with autoplay off

[Jimmy12]

Hi,

i have the following code:

where i want the sound to only play during the false part of the IF statement

but currently it always plays on every reload, and even if the IF = true

any ideas? ive tried autoplay="0" also

 

Thanks

 

	<embed src="beep.wav" autostart="false" width="0" height="0" id="sound1"
enablejavascript="true">

+

<script>
function PlaySound(soundObj) {
  var sound = document.getElementById(soundObj);
  sound.Play();
}
</script>

+

		if( isset( $json['Data'] ) ){
			echo "<b>Success</b>";
			echo "</br>";
			echo $data.' x ' .$tqty;  
			echo "</br>";
			
		} else {
			echo "Error";
			echo "</br>";
			echo $json['Message'];
			echo '<script> PlaySound("Sound1"); </script>';
		}

It is playing because you are telling it to in the echo/script. If you want the user to start the play, create a button instead and have the onClick attribute execute the PlaySound script.

<embed> is so 1990s. Use <audio>.

yes though the echo/script should only run when the 2nd part of the IF statement is initiated.

I dont want the user to start anything - more of an alert when an error occurs

Not if you don't show the controls.
