Question

Using jQuery, can you show me the syntax for playing a sound?
I would like to return a blip or beep or something upon error.

I found something about a sound plugin at
http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/plugins/sound/jquery.sound.js?rev=5750

And when I did a search for “sound” in the jQuery documentation, it said
There is no page titled “sound”.

I’d be happy with a tone just as well, if there is a sound generator built into most browsers instead of requiring a Flash plugin.

Answer 1

The link that you provide shows how you would use the plugin as well as how it is implemented.

In this case, it injects an embed element dynamically into the page, relying on the browser’s native support for the file type that is returned from the url parameter.

In this case, you would have to have the url parameter point to a url on your server which represents the sound/tone you wish to play.
