[thelist] cannot play sound in IE

Thu Nov 23 16:47:24 CST 2000

   I have a script that plays a sound when a link is clicked on.  The sound 
only plays in Netscape not in IE.  Below is the code for the web site, If 
anyone knows how I could play the sound in IE as well please let me know.

<html>
<head>
<title>Sound onclick</title>

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

var aySound = new Array();
aySound[0] = "click.wav";

document.write('<BGSOUND ID="auIEContainer">')
IE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1 && document.all)? 1:0;
NS = (navigator.appName=="Netscape" && navigator.plugins["LiveAudio"])? 1:0;
ver4 = IE||NS? 1:0;
onload=auPreload;

function auPreload() {
if (!ver4) return;
if (NS) auEmb = new Layer(0,window);
else {
Str = "<DIV ID='auEmb' STYLE='position:absolute;'></DIV>";
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML("BeforeEnd",Str);
}
var Str = '';
for (i=0;i<aySound.length;i++)
Str += "<EMBED SRC='"+aySound[i]+"' AUTOSTART='FALSE' HIDDEN='TRUE'>"
if (IE) auEmb.innerHTML = Str;
else {
auEmb.document.open();
auEmb.document.write(Str);
auEmb.document.close();
}
auCon = IE? document.all.auIEContainer:auEmb;
auCon.control = auCtrl;
}
function auCtrl(whSound,play) {
if (IE) this.src = play? aySound[whSound]:'';
else eval("this.document.embeds[whSound]." + (play? "play()":"stop()"))
}
function playSound(whSound,varNewPage) {
   if (window.auCon) auCon.control(whSound,true);
   document.location = varNewPage;
}
function stopSound(whSound) { if (window.auCon) 
auCon.control(whSound,false); }
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>

<A HREF="javascript:playSound(0,'page.htm');">Click here to play sound</A>

</body>
</html>

TIA,

Barret Monchka
