HTML - Sound On Rollover Button
I need to add sound to a rollover button. I have downloaded the sound file(.wav) that I want and have in my project's folder. When I check the Dreamweaver help section it says to link to the sound; problem is I also need to link to a page when the button is clicked. How do I acheive this?
I am using Dreamweaver 8. I appreciate all help offered. Thanks, Tazmania Similar TutorialsHi there all. I put a site together about 3 months ago and all was running fine. I had some rollover buttons which played a small MP3 when rolled over. Now the site either asks you to download the sounds of asks to load media player rather than just playing them. If you widh to have a look and offer any advice the site is www.nozzart.com. I haven't changed any code and was wondering if it is to do with the browser more than the code ? Hope you can help and thanks in advance Chris i am dynamically creating a HTML in which i have an <img> tag but when i click on it it is not giving any sound like we normally get. so what could be wrong. any help on this ASAP is very help full i am dynamically creating a HTML in which i have an <img> tag but when i click on it it is not giving any sound like we normally get. so what could be wrong. any help on this ASAP is very help full Hello, this may sound like a dumb question: Is there a way build a button that on rollover makes an image appear beside it? thanks hey not too sure if I am overlooking something but i have my rollover buttons set up fine and they are working but whenever I click on them(my browser is google chrome), they produce a black rectangle just underneath, they also jump a bit when clicked. the site page is www.spaseafoods.com/Untitled-1.html and you will see the link buttons there, here is the code for the buttons; <a href="Untitled-1.html" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image7','','/cooltext446156370MouseOver.png',1)"><img src="/cooltext446156370.png" name="Image7" width="87" height="39" border="0" id="Image7" /> </a><a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Home','','/cooltext446156370.png',1)"></a> I am not an HTML expert. The design program I inherited has a CSS assigned to a "Learn More" button that reads as follows:
Code: #slideshow .learn_more { position: relative; background: url(/graphics/btn-learn_more.png) no-repeat; display: block; height: 27px; text-indent: -9999px; width: 123px; z-index: 2; }
#slideshow .learn_mo hover { background-position: 0 -27px; }
As far as I can tell, it seems what that is doing is showing the top 27 pixels of a built-in "Learn More" graphic, and when you hover over it, it shows the bottom 27 pixels and gives the illusion of a rollover. My question is, what direct HTML code could I assign to a graphic to duplicate that effect so I can customize my own buttons? For instance, let's say I want the below graphic (which is 242x54, named button.jpg) to link to google.com. What code would I use to create the hover effect I described above? How to make a image rollover based menu that changes image on mouse rollover and on mouse click so when I click the image it stays changed until I click on another image in the menu. So in January 2006 I posted a question about "making two buttons in one" 3 years and 5 months later i am happy to announce that I have found a solution. Ok, so no I have not spent the last three years looking, but the need for one came around again yesterday so I revisited the project. All I needed was "simple" image toggle. Image 'A' click it once it changes to image 'B' click it again it changes back to image 'A' All the "image toggle" codes I could find were extremely complex. I thought I had finally found one, it wasn't perfect, but it was the smallest and most basic thing I could find. HTML Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.on {background-image:url(playlist_btn.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;}
.off {background-image:url(playlist_btn_x.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;}
</style>
<script language="javascript">
function togglestyle(el){if(el.className == "on") {el.className="off";} else {el.className="on";}}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="onoff" class="playlist_btn"><img src="blank.gif" width="50 height="50" onclick="togglestyle(onoff)"></div>
</body>
</html>
I tested it, it worked, so I considered problem solved. I placed it in my page and nothing. Turns out it wont work with a doc type - so it's useless. Other problems, I'm not big on using "blank gif's" unless I have to, if you want multiple image toggles you need a new JS function for each one, and two lines of css as well. And, though I rarely use image rollovers anymore, it would certainly not be possible in this method. So it was back to the drawing board. Well, I had actually already found the solution a few minuets prior to finding out that the above code is so good. I had coded a button that on rollover shows a tooltip, when you click the button, the text in the tool tip, changes, chick again and it reverts. All done with a simple showHide javascript function, that i am finfing out has many uses. here is the awesome code: Code:
function showHide(elementid){
if (document.getElementById(elementid).style.display == 'none'){
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = '';
} else {
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = 'none';
}
}
function hideShow(elementid){
if (document.getElementById(elementid).style.display == ''){
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = 'none';
} else {
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = '';
}
}
I wont take credit for the showHide code, but I will take credit for the hideShow portion, obviously a monkey could have coded the revers, but iot does make it that much more universal. As the original code was designed to show something that was hidden, add the revers to hide something that is showing and it's perfect. Now I will take a moment to say, though I have yet to find a problem with the code, it seems to work in most browsers, firefox, ie, safari, and validates for WC3 - In sure it has it's flaws. Until now, to show and hide divs I had used the MM_showHideLayers JavaScript function, which by default used the visibility style. It is of course a good script, and has many uses, it's not very big, but it is somewhat complex. The other thing to think about is that invisible objects still take up space. That's what is cool about the display:none: style, is that is not only invisible but it doesn't take up space. So here is how I used the above to JavaScript to make a simple onclick image toggle: HTML Code: <img id="on" src="on.png" width="50" height="50" onClick="javascript:hideShow('on'); javascript:showHide('off')" alt="on">
<img id="off" src="off.png" width="50" height="50" onClick="javascript:hideShow('off'); javascript:showHide('plus')" style="display:none;" alt="off">
Cool huh? Now this example does not have a rollover either, but since it uses to individual images and is not replacing one image wioth another you could easily apply a rollover to both images. But, hold on, look at the above code, isn't that essentially a rollover? Change the first onClick to onMouseOver and the second to onMouseOut and look at that a 'brand new' method for mouseovers. So lets take a look at this for a second, and compare MM_swapImage to this new hideShow method. As far as CSS rollovers I definitely prefer them to the MM_swapImage method, as they use a minimal amount of code. However they actually take a lot of math, construction the buttons is somewhat tedious, because css buttons use 1 image and change it's position, to work well you have to use a "blank.gif" and the the css can really add up if you have a lot of buttons: Also, you can't go directly to a button in the document, you have to fish through the css to make any adjustments. But they are fast, they don't need to be preloaded and... they are pretty cool. But anyway, swapImage and hideShow... The left is the MM_swapImage method. Now when you use the swapImage js you also have to use MM_swapImgRestore, MM_findObj, MM_preloadImages. You don't have to use the preload script but it does make thing work faster... supposedly, but that requires a onload script in the body tag, and if you have a lot of rollovers your body tag can get really long really quick. So what are the advantages, well we know for sure it works, and you only need on image in the document, however actualy having the image you are "swapping" too actually in the document can add functionality. So as you can see, on the right, the showHide method is, in total code, much smaller. True you do need to use two images, so the total code in the body is longer but, it's more than evened out bu the minimal JavaScript, and I think it's worth it. You don't need to use a preloader, you have full control over both images, the up and over state, and unlike the swapImage method, though it's rare you would need to, your up and over images can actually be different sizes, which is kind of cool. So here's the basic code for a rollover: HTML Code: <img id="up" src="up.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('up'); javascript:showHide('over')" alt="up">
<a href="http://google.com"><img id="over" src="over.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOut="javascript:hideShow('over'); javascript:showHide('up')" style="display:none;" alt="over" border="0"></a>
To add a link the button you just apply it to the "over state" image. And unlike swapImage, though it is overkill, you can also add a "downstate" image quite easily. So, back to the on/off button here is how you would code it using showHide with rollovers. HTML Code: <img id="on" src="on.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('on'); javascript:showHide('onover')" alt="on">
<img id="onover" src="on_over.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOut="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('on')" onClick="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('offover')" style="display:none;" alt="onover">
<img id="off" src="off.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('off'); javascript:showHide('offover')" style="display:none;" alt="off">
<img id="offover" src="off_over.png" width="50" height="50" style="display:none;" onMouseout="javascript:hideShow('offover'); javascript:showHide('off')" onClick="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('off')"alt="offover">
So here is what is going on: you have the upstate on.png image, when you mouse over it on.png is hidden and on_over.png is displayed. When you click on_over.png it is hidden and off_over.png is display, mouse off it and off.png is displayed. Make scene? Now be aware, when you click, you are also in a scene "mousing off" so some flickering can occur. Firefox handles everything pretty well, IE and Safari not so much. When you click the on_over.png the click tells it to hide on_over.png and show the off_over.png, at the same time the mouseoff tells it to hide on_over.png and show the on.png. So fortunately the toggle with rollovers isn't perfect, but perhaps some more tweaking of the code or maybe, in this case swapImage would work better to do the rollovers... But all in all I'd say its a solid concept. If you feel compiled to do so, reply with any comments, concerns or flaws you see. I'm trying to make an image appear/change in response to a rollover, but the image is not in the same table as the rollover. I'm trying to redesign the header of my website, and have come up with this draft: bottleweb.org/test I want an image to appear in between the "BOTTLEWEB.ORG" text and the buttons. If for example I move my mouse over the 'forum' button, I want an image corresponding to 'forum' to appear in between the buttons and the "BOTTLEWEB.ORG" test. Is this possible? I can't seem to get a sound to play on my site. I can edit the code and execute it on my computer and it works fine. When I upload it to my page, it doesn't work. I use Firefox but also tried it with IE. I have tried both EMBED and BGSOUND. The sound is a very small WAV file. Where am I going wrong? Hello, Can someone please help me with this: I am trying to embed a sound into a text link...here is the code: <li><a class="last" href="index.html">Inchide Sistemul</a></li> ...when I click the link I want to play a sound, how can I modify the code to do that? Thanks I have a sound problem with chrome. I have been added a song to my website using: <embed src="c1.mp3" width="200" height="100" autoplay="true" hidden="true" loop="1" volume="100"></embed> but is not working in chrome. On the other hand is woking in IE 6 What is the problem?? hey all, i have added mp3 file using quicktime player it works fine is IE but, it doesn't work on firefox. it comes up with missing plugin (even though i have quicktime installed) if i change this code to wmp then the activex doesnt show up any ideas whats gone wrong? Code: <div class="navStyle" id="subMenu"> Silent Hill 4: Cradel of the forest <br /> <br /> <object width="171" height="20" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"> <param name="src" value="../media/essentials/thread/1.mp3" /> param name="autoplay" value="false" /> <param name="controller" value="true" /> <!-- For Older Browsers --> <embed src="../media/essentials/thread/1.mp3" width="171" height="50" autoplay="false" controller="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"> </embed> </object> </div> Is it possible to make a sound when the mouse goes over an image? maybe using some JS or something. Also on mouseout aswell I would like it to make some kind of beeping noise when the user hovers over an image but i dont want to go in to all that flash stuff etc... I am on myspace. I am trying to send a comment with a sound wav. I don't want a link I want a small player that will play the file. I want it to be Html but I don't know how to get it that way. I've tried everything . Help??! I have this alert box that I would like to add a sound after you click ok. Can this be done to the script I have here? Thanks //<![CDATA[ var alertmessage="Well this the last and finale Assignment for the JavaScript Level One Course" //Alert only once per browser session (0=no, 1=yes) var once_per_session=1 function get_cookie(Name) { var search = Name + "=" var returnvalue = ""; if (document.cookie.length > 0) { offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search) if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists offset += search.length // set index of beginning of value end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset); // set index of end of cookie value if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length; returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end)) } } return returnvalue; } function alertornot(){ if (get_cookie('alerted')==''){ loadalert() document.cookie="alerted=yes" } } function loadalert(){ alert(alertmessage) } if (once_per_session==0) loadalert() else alertornot() //]]> I was wondering how i add sound to my webpage, so that it plays when the user enters the page, but with a play and stop button. http://pavel.free-site-host.com/ I have a couple of problems with this layout. First of all I have set up a script for mouse over sound over the nav, but when i mouse over nothing happens. Next I have set up another script that has random images but for some reason it has made the layout unaligned. Last, towards the bottom it has a blank spot for a search (for the web-site) could somebody explain how to create a search for the content inside the site. Thank you in advance Just wondering if anyone knows a good way to loop like a 3 second sound clip on a page? I want it to start as soon as the page loads and keep looping. Any help would be awesome. Thanks hi this is new user. i have one query that i want to play a sound(eg.mid) in background when i opne my html code. so anybody can tell me how to do that in detail. with littel code too. thnks in advance i am waiting for reply. |
