I have this older JS that does not work for FireFox. I was wondering if there is a newer script available that works for all browsers that will preload and then play audio on a mouse over.
And I have found, NOT reload the page if accidentally clicked.


The description of what I am using is:

// Preload and play audio files with event handler (MouseOver sound)
// designed by JavaScript Archive, (c)1999

Thanx for any help!

Here is a code for playing sound on th page. It works with most browsers. But this is not "javascript". May be usefull for u. If u r not satisfied with this,then plz. repost ur question with full discription.
(sorry if too unsatisfactory)
<embed id="mySound" src="media/bjorn_spirits.mid" loop="false" autostart="true" hidden="true" width="100" height="100">
<button onclick="document.getElementById('mySound').play();">&nbsp; <b>>></b>&nbsp; </button>
<button onclick="document.getElementById('mySound').stop();">&nbsp;&nbsp;
<b>||</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </button>
</embed>

That helped me understand the process!

Let me be more specific. Forget hovering. Everyone clicks anyway and screws it all up! :)

I would like to embed (pre load) a few sounds on the page.
I would like them to play once and stop when a user clicks on an image.
A graphical control is not necessary but okay if need be.
I assume there has to be two parts.
The embed in the HEAD and the link at the graphic in the BODY?

The embed tags should be in the body anywhere before they are referenced. You can also use a JS call to play the sounds like this...

<body>
<EMBED SRC="test.wav" HIDDEN=TRUE AUTOSTART="false" MASTERSOUND NAME="test_sound">
<img onmouseover="javascript:document.test_sound.play()" src="img_01.gif" alt="" name="img_01" border="0" width="73" height="80">
</body>

The problem is that it doesn't seem to work in either Netscape or Firefox, at least not on my web page. I believe embedding sounds is not recommended by WC3, however.
