javascript audio player

tolkienarda

hi all

my friend e-mailed me this quesion, i am more of a php person so i would appreciate it if you could help me look smart here is the quetsion

I am trying to write a simple script to play audio files for this guys
website and i need some help.

in the <head> if have:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

/<script language="javascript">

function player(source)

{

document.player.hidden(false);

document.player.src(source);

document.player.play(true);

}

</script>

/In the <body> i have:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

/<embed src="" loop=false name="player" controls=console hidden=true>

/And then later:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

/<a href="#top" onClick="player("audio/01.mp3")">Play</a>

/It does nothing, like it doesn't even go into the function... Its been
so long since i have used javascript, its probably a simple problem. I
attached a copy of the html file. If you could take a look at it i would
appreciate it.

now i know that with the <a ...> tag that calls the javascript he could have just used the onclick, don't know why he didn't but i have changed that in another place but still it won't work.

thanks for any assistance

Hi.

At first glance...
[HTML]<a href="#top" onClick="player("audio/01.mp3")">Play</a>[/HTML]

Double quote marks to open the onClick value, and then the double quotes in the function parameter will cause the value of onClick to be
"player(" and you would get a js error.

try
[HTML]<a href="#top" onClick="player('audio/01.mp3')">Play</a>[/HTML]
