Question

I have looked on Google, and everywhere in the forums. Just learning JavaScript, so any help is appreciated. When I put .wav in the parameters it says error, don’t know if that makes a difference anyway.

In the head:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function playSound(cellowav) {
    document.getElementById("dummy").innerHTML=
       "<embeded src=\""+cellowav.wav+"\" hidden=\"true\" loop=\"false\" />
  }
</script>

In the body:

<span id="dummy"></span>
<p onmouseover="playsound('cellowav.wav');">
  <img src="smiley.png" border="0" alt="smiley" />
</p>

Okay, I found that yes the cellowav doesn’t belong in the parameter, or the string and the sound will play automatically with the embed tag in html. I was missing the closing -"- in the string fixed that. Changed the functions parameters from (cellowav) to (soundfile) and in the string + cellowav + to

• soundfile +.

   <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
   function playSound(soundfile) {
   document.getElementById("dummy").innerHTML=
   "<embed src=\""+soundfile+"\" hidden=\"true\" autostart=\"true\"
   loop=\"false\" />";
   }
   </script>
  
  
   <span id="dummy"></span>
   <p onmouseover="playSound('cellowav.wav');"><img src="smiley.png"  
   alt="smiley"></p>
  

Answer 1

You’re missing a " at the end of innerHTML=... in your function.

Furthermore you can’t include cellowav.wav that way. You need to put in the url to the file there.

Should be looking something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function playSound(cellowav) {
    document.getElementById("dummy").innerHTML=
       "<embed src=\"" + cellowav + "\" hidden=\"true\" loop=\"false\" />";
  }
</script>
