I've been asked by a friend of my wife to develop a webpage (possibly the whole site) for a community of folks that are visually impaired. This is going to be a freebee job, but I'd like to do it well. I know a little javascript, but not much.

Anyway, here's the question: Is it possible to use the onMouseOver command to play audio instead of switching graphics or text?

Yah, sure...

<html><head>
<script>
function play(){
song.src="thefile.mp3"
}
</script>
</head><body>
<a href"somewhere.com" onMouseOver="play()">Play</a>
<embed id="song"></embed>
</body></html>

You can also do onmouseout="stop()"

And function stop(){song.src=""}

Oh, and this will only work in browsers that support getElementById(). If the above doesn't work for you, set a variable: "Song" (nottice the caps) to equal document.getElementById("song"); and then Song.src="thesong.mp3"
