Can I Play A Repetitive Sound And Test Response Time In JS?
Jul 23, 2005
I want to play a repetitive sound, and have a user click on a button each
time it plays (say 5-10 times) and measure how far off he is from the
sound each time.
The only way I know to play a sound in JS is bgsound, and I know how to
loop and pause, so as to do the 1st part. I haven't figured out how to
then test the delay in response. Since some of the responses may also be
*before* the sound plays by some milliseconds, that also compicates it.
My real question is, can this even be done in JS, or should I be in PHP,
ASP, or do you have another suggestion. I'm thinking it needs to run
client-side so there are no network delays, and the results would be
reasonably accurate on different machines. I could easily write it in VB
but I don't want them to have to download anything. I'd just like it to
run from the page.

I have built an admin area for employees of a business. Once logged-in, if they sit idle for 5 minutes their session will be killed ( the time may vary depending on the employee ). I do all this with php but don't really know much about javascript.
What I would like to do is start playing a small sound repeatedly when the employees session is about 30 seconds from expiring. ( this will give the employee time to click on a link to keep their session alive )
So when the page loads, I would like to pass a length of time in seconds to a javascript. So if the employee can sit idle for 5 minutes, that would be 300 seconds. Minus the 30 seconds that I would like the alarm to be playing for which gives us 270 seconds. ( I'll pass this number to the script with PHP, the script does not have to figure this out... just to be clear. )
So I'm looking for something like this:
- On page load, tell javascript to count down a specific number of seconds ( 270 )
- When the countdown reaches 0, start playing sound file repeatedly.
Sounds easy enough but I haven't been able to find anything like this yet. The only ones I've seen actually display the countdown which I don't want. I want this to count down invisibly. Oh and it should hopefully work in both IE and Firefox.

I know this may sound stupid, but for the life of me I just can't seem to figure out how to code a sound being played every lets say 300 seconds.

I don't have a clue what i'm doing with this and don't expect someone to just give me the code if it is actually possible (although it would be nice). I've created a site and in the admin area the page will update and tell me if there is a new message from a user, I have this page automatically refreshing every 5 minutes and wondered if it's possible to play a sound file if the term "unread" appears anywhere on the page?

Using JavaScript, I require a code that allows me to play .wav sound files randomly and automatically on page start-up, I also need them to loop as they are drum beats. The plan: to load my web page and hear a random drum beat that loops continuously. I need it to be compatible with most, if not all Internet browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera are crucial) and to state what sound file is playing on the page (allowing me to identify the looping drum beat/sound file), and if possible to provide a link to the actual sound file for download.

I am coding a page that has 6 buttons on it, from which one is the correct button (the target). I want to try and implement the following:
1) when a wrong button is clicked, the file "wrong.mp3" is played. It is less than a second long.
2) when the correct button is click, the file "right.mp3" is played. It too is less than a second long. The page then redirects/reloads. This is the code that I can't seem to get to work:

I am using a picture as a button for my site and when you click the picture it brings you to the main page of the website. My problem is that I want the button to make a sound when it is clicked on. I figured that Javascript would be the best language to use since I know nothing about Flash.

Does anyone know how (and if it's possible) to create buttons or text that will play a sound on mousedown/onclick/mouseover?
I've tried the examples on this page - http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/mark/audio/play.htm#, but the only ones that don't make my I.E. browser crash don't work in Firefox.

I wrote the following small HTML page, trying to play a sound in Firefox 8 and Internet Explorer 9. The button and the <a></a> link work fine, but calling from the <script></script> tag does nothing. Does anybody know, what can be wrong, and what I can do? I'm sorry, you have to supply the oef.wav file, since I can't upload it.

Is it possible to play a small sound clip when the user hovers over a link? Usually the company I work for would use flash to do this but we have been asked to create it in HTML/JavaScript.

I have a self project I am exploring. I would like to play a simple sound file each time a function is run. The function runs every second, so, basically, I am just trying to get an audible click sound file to run every time the function runs. I do not know how to play a sound file thru javascript. Here is the code file thus far...
<html>

<title>Timer</title>
<link href="timer.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<embed src="click.wav" autostart=false hidden=true name="sound1" enablejavascript="true">
<script type="text/javascript">
var seconds = 0;

code:
var sec = 10; // set the seconds
var min = 06; // set the minutes[code].....

What I'm doing is creating a div element dynamically when the user clicks on a point in the page. Once created I create a record in my database table the corresponds to this div element and save information such as the width,height, x coordinate, and y coordinate of the element. This is done via AJAX accessing my web service. The weird thing is, I get really fast responses 80% of the time but 20% of the time, its taking a lot longer. For example, I would get a response after 50-100ms and at times I would get it in 2 seconds What do you think is the source of this problem?

ser is able to create queries and issue them. The query is sent to the web-app by means of an ajax call. Then, the server computes the result set and a small subset (100) of tuples are sent back to the client for visualization.
These thing works with queries that are simple and do not require to the database long computations. As soon as I try a more complex query (computation requires ~ 7secs), the answer returned to the client is empty.
I suspect that this is a problem of timing out the connection, is that possible?
(edit) I have almost forgot, I'm using Prototype as JS library

I'm using the standard module pattern and the problem is once you set a private variable, trying to test that object independently becomes a nightmare as the next test is polluted by the actions of the previous.So, the options are to have some reset method (which is horrible), setters on everything (defeats the point) or delete object and re-load script (hideous).
