HTML - Do Not Want Audio To Play Automatically

This may be a relatively easy answer but here we go....

HTML Code:

<a href="audio.wav">Play this wav file!</a>

The above is just a simple example but my problem is that no matter what I keep getting prompted for a download... Is there any specific reason why IE7 cannot directly access wav files or is this issue due to security settings.... Normally, in the past I haven't had an issue but at this time I am at a loss....

Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,

Hi everyone.

I am working on a project with a few friends. The site is designed for people who are illiterate and so we are looking into how we could go about having audio cues play whenever the user hovers over a button or a section of an image map.

If anyone would know of a good tutorial on how to do so in html5 it would be appreciated.

I'm trying to playback an mp3 from within a table cell using a <a href> link. I don't want to use Flash and also don't want to use the HTML5 <audio> tag.
I found this code
Quote:
function DHTMLSound(surl) {
document.getElementById("dummyspan").innerHTML=
"<embed src='"+surl+"' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>";
}

<span id=dummyspan></span>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Play Sound" onClick="DHTMLSound('success.wav')">
</form>
and tried to incorporate it into the page. No luck.

I think should be able to add the onClick part to the <a href> and have it play, but I get nothing.

Thanks for any help,
Mei

Hello,
I'm creating a site that requires the inbuilt audio player to keep streaming music between page loads. What coding options are available for this, HTML, PHP or otherwise?

I want to be able to add a mp3 audio file of a sermon to a church website I am building. I have done searches and find a lot of "embed" code, but none of these work. Nothing shows on the web page.

What is the simplest way of doing this. I understand "embed" is not a legal word. I have tired "Object", but nothing shows using this command either.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hey,

On my site i have currently got windows media player to play an embedded wma file
Code:

<object id="MediaPlayer" height=46 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">

<param name="filename" value="Windows XP Startup.wma">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="Windows XP Startup.wma" name="MediaPlayer"></embed>

</object>

That's my current source code for it

ideally i would like to make it have the playlist option so on the playlist they can double click which songs they would like to listen


Is this possible

Cheers

Lolium

P.s, would it be possible for people who view the web page to browse the directory were the audio files will be kept? so they can choose which song to play??

I currently run a phpBB3 forum, and I have one topic in particular that I want audio to play in. I did some looking around and found some HTML that would allow me to play an audio clip. I went to that topic, opened the source, plugged in the HTML, and after uploading the audio file, I pressed the apply changes, and it worked. The thing is, how do I SAVE it to the site?

*The actual code I entered has the correct domain name.

Code:

<EMBED src="http://www.mydomain.com/forum/folder/who.wav" autostart=true loop=false volume=100 
hidden=true><NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="http://www.mydomain.com/forum/folder/who.wav"></NOEMBED>

Another question, not sure if HTML, but the favicon.ico for the address bar/favorites that I set works for Opera, but not for IE8...any ideas?

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="0" width="0" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/link&autoplay=1&rel=0">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/link&autoplay=1&rel=0" />
</object>

I want to add a code to make the YouTube audio off. Any ideas?

Hi,

What is the html code to have a Youtube video on my website?

Is it possible to embed just the Audio with a stop, pause, progress display?

What is the html for this

I am designing a web page using Wordpress and have a rudimentary but working knowledge of HTML and have resources to help, so bear with me...

My web site calls some audio files and they work fine. The line I am using is (a href=" url ") announcement (/a) Substitute appropriate GT & LT symbols accordingly...

When I activate the page, the audio player covers the entire screen and all I get is a slide bar showing the progress of the audio track. Very boring,...

What can I do to place an image there or change the size of the image to allow other image or words to be on the screen. I would appreciate it if I could get a sample of code to tweak.

I am attempting to link to audio files that exist on my server using the anchor tag. I am able to download and play the audio files just fine on Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but not on Internet Explorer. When I click the link in IE, all I see is a bunch of random characters. Also, when I attempt to download the audio file IE attempts to download it as an html file. What can I do to fix this so that I am able to access these files via IE.

Here is the code.
Code:

<a href="/audioFile.aif">audioFile.aif</a><br />

Does anyone know how to position the <audio> player so it's stacked on top of a background image? If I make the player visible with <audio controls="controls">. I tried to treat it as an image by:

Code:

<style> <!-- this is the background image -->
#container {
	display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
	position: relative;
	border:none;
	width: 380px;
	height: 633px;
	background-image: url("pictures/kohakuriver1.png");
	background-position:center;

<!-- this is the audio player -->
#container audioplayer {
	position: absolute;
	border:none;
	left: 65px;
	width: 245px;
	height: 53px;

#audio {top: 700px}

</style>

...
...

<body>

...

<div id="container">
	<audio controls="controls">
  		<source src="music/hupochuanClip.mp3" id="audio" type="audio/mpeg"/>
  		<source src="music/hupochuanClip.ogg" id="audio" type="audio/ogg"/>
	</audio>
</div>

</body>

It didn't work completely, it did move it to some odd place but not where I want it. Changing the height value won't have any effect (I tried changing it to like 7000px and it's still in the same place).

Ok, I figured out how to embed an audio clip into the web page that works pretty well across multiple browsers. The code looks like this: Code:

<embed width="200px" height="30px" loop="false" autostart="false" src="/media/GOAL.wav"></embed>

And it looks like this on the web page:

My question is, is it possible to add to that code so only a custom PNG file is visible until you click it and then the player begins? I don't even necessarily need the player to be visible. Can the audio simply play once when the PNG is clicked? What would that code look like? Thx.

My "BYO AUDIO" had a problem where it was fine with Firefox, but on IE it would keep playing even if it was paused!

So, I got some guy to fix it and now it works great in IE, and the audio dragbar or anything doesn't even show up in Firefox!!

I have no idea how this could have happen, all I know is he did something related to "Playweb". If anyone knows, that would be great. Thanks!

Hi this won't play in Internet Explorer on a pc... It's a QT movie I am assuming this is why, but what other format can I use that will work on both Mac and PC? http://www.curiousclothing.com/test/qt.htm
