.wav file.

[Luis Flores III]

I would like to make a .wav file play in the browser (i really don't
want to have to have a player open or even embbed itself, unless of
course it were to just not be shown, like a hidden field in a form)
when clicking on a link. Is there anyways to do this, I am pretty sure
Javascript would be the way to go to accomplish this, but please
correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

Embedding is not "shown", like a hidden formfield.

If you mean by "just not be shown",
"not visible with source hacking",
you are luckily out of luck.

Re: .wav file.

for IE:
The clear case of "the more is not better" =="media insanity".
A while ago I had the same problem, and the only solution I could produce
was using the <bgsound> tag.
It has much more options than usually thought, read MSDN. In brief,
myBgSound.src = someSrc assignment makes the sound to play again.
so
<bgsound id="myBgSound" src="aNullLengt h.wav">
and later
myBgSound.src = "someNewSrc.wav "
equals to play() command

AFAIK it's the only way to play sounds without popups, unnecessary downloads
etc.

For Gesko clones I cannot help. At that time it was NN4 with built-it Java
Beatnik Player, and it wasn't such a problem.
I don't know how it works now.

I've used this:

<object
style="visibili ty:hidden;"
classid="CLSID: 22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"

codebase="http://activex.microso ft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Ve rsion=6,4,5,715 "
standby="Loadin g..."
type="applicati on/x-oleobject">
<param name="FileName" value="media/wav_sample.wav" >
<param name="AutoStart " value="true">

<embed type="audio/x-wav"
src="media/wav_sample.wav"
hidden="true"
autostart="true ">
</embed>
</object>

Re: .wav file.

Put this at the top of your web page...


<embed id="sound1" src="rain.wav" autostart="fals e" hidden="true">


then this is how to play it...


<script language="javas cript">
<!--
document.getEle mentById("sound 1").Play();
-->
</script>


or to play it with a link...


<a href="#"
onClick="javasc ript:document.g etElementById(" sound1").Play() ;">Click here to
here rain</a>


Hope this helps
