Playing sound with JavaScript

I’m making a javascript chat for my site and I need to play a sound when it has a new message and the chat is not focused, just like the Facebook’s chat. Problem is I have no clue how to play this sound in background with javascript. Could you help me?

Edit: Crossbrowser solutions without Flash will be better

Answer 1

You may use jQuery and it’s append function along with script;

Create an element (example – <div>) or use an existing element, and give it some id (like <div id="some_div">). Then try the below code

$('#some_div').append('<embed id="embed_player" src="your_sound_file.wav" autostart="true" hidden="true"></embed>');

Hope this helps… :)
