I have an audio file (mp3), and I want to allow the web user to choose to play a section (track) of it.
I could split the audio file into many separate files, but I have begun to look at the <track> sub-element of the <audio> element of HTML5. Many webpages tell us how to formulate this element, eg. to give the start time of each track in a .vtt file, and that is fine. But I don't want "controls", I want to display a list of tracks, and let the user decide which track to play, and click an icon to play it. It must be blindingly obvious how to do this, but I can't find the HTML statement to start up a numbered track. Thanks for any hints. |

Now you confused me, did you mean "toggle"?
I can make the script change the link text when it's clicked if I have to.  |

Sorry, I just skimmed and didn't see state was a variable you created. I mistook it for an audio property. I see now when you did.
