change BGSOUND via Javascript

[ThatRickGuy]

Hi Guys,
I was using the following code to attempt to give my users access to a sound file on my web server. The problem I ran into is that the the 'Stop' button will correctly stop the wav file, but the 'Play' button will not re-start the audio.

Thoughts?

<BGSOUND id='WucAudio1' name='WucAudio1' SRC='C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\Wav\wmpaud7.wav' VOLUME='0' BALANCE='0' LOOP='0' />
<script language=javascript>var BGWucAudio1=document.getElementById('WucAudio1');</script>

<INPUT type='button' style='font-family:Webdings;' value='4' title='Play' onClick="BGWucAudio1.src='C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\Wav\wmpaud7.wav'">

<INPUT type='button' style='font-family:Webdings;' value='<' title='Stop' onClick="BGWucAudio1.src=''">

Try to set LOOP = '-1' in your BGSOUND tag and see it that will fix it.

This is just a stab in the dark.

Heya Monksnake,
No luck on the -1 loop. I think I'm going to give up on the BGSOUND tag though, it appears to be IE specific and would require a second solution for FF. I found SoundManager2 which uses flash to handle all of the sound functionality. It's actually a pretty cool system and best of all, it is entirely cross platform independent (provided the user has Flash installed).

Well sorry I couldn't help ya.

SoundManager2 does sound like a better option though.
