HTMLHelp Forums _ General Web Design _ I want to use a .wav file

Posted by: keytone Feb 8 2011, 06:51 PM

Hi everyone, I am trying to find out how to make a short .wav file play when an image is clicked without showing the media player. When I use <a href="mysound.wav"><img src"myimage.gif"></a>
it plays with windows media player, but the viewer has to close it. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you very much for any guidance. John

But instead of the

CODE

<a href="#" onclick="playSound('URL to soundfile');">Click here to hear a sound</a>

Yours would be

CODE

EDIT:
Not sure if this has anything to do with what your working on but

You might play around with this shiny new <audio> tag and see if you can pull it off without using javascript.
