I need to create an object for a .wav file which I can trigger to play onclick I'm not really sure how to go about that, any ideas? <br><br>thanks<br><br>&nbsp; <p>Chris Sorel<br><a href=mailto:chris@exnihilo.com>chris@exnihilo.com</a><br><a href= If you continue to do what you have always done,<br>

It's quite simple. You just have to create a little fonction (let's call iot 'playSound()') that you will call with anykind of action (onClick, onLoad, onUnload, etc.).<br><br>Here is a little piece of code that you can use :<br><br>&lt;script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;&gt;<br>&lt;!--<br><br>function playSound()<br>{<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;location.href=&quot;Mysound.wav&quot;;<br>}<br><br>//--&gt;<br>&lt;/script&gt;<br><br>&lt;img src=&quot;Myimage.gif&quot; onClick=&quot;playSound()&quot;&gt;<br>
 
Does that work in NN4+ viliche? Very elegant. I must try it.

You can also EMBED the sound with autostart off and call the sound via it's ID usinf the play() method in IE5.5.
 
I like this, but I would like for the user to be able to turn the sound off by clicking again. How do I amend this script to do that? Thanks! Calista :-X
