    Here’s an example of javascript controlled audio player that uses css stylable elems:

    <!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
       <style>
            html, body {padding:50px;}
            * {margin:0px;padding:0px;}
            #audioWrapper {position:relative;display:inline-block;}
            .audioPlayer {position:absolute;left:0px;bottom:0px;
                 display: block;height:48px;width:400px;}
            #playPauseButton {position: absolute;top: 13px;left: 10px;
                 display:inline;width: 18px;height: 22px;
                 background: url(/images/player.png) no-repeat -20px -2px;
                 cursor: pointer;}
            #playPauseButton.playing {background-position:0px -2px;}
            #playPauseButton:active {top:10px;}
            #timeRemaining {position:absolute;top:17px;right:5px;font-size:11px;
                 font-weight:bold;color:#fff;}
            #timeLine {position: absolute;top: 19px;left: 50px;right: 50px;
                 height: 6px;padding: 2px;border-radius: 5px;background: #546374;}
           #slideHandle {position: absolute;top: -6px;left: 0;width: 20px;
                height: 20px;margin-left: -10px;
                background: url(/images/player.png) no-repeat -39px -3px;
                cursor: pointer;}
           .audioPlayerBackground {height:400px;width:400px;}

                if(!!document.createElement('audio').canPlayType) {
