Which is the best way to play sound using javascript in a controlled manner ? I need a solution which work across all browsers. This is for my bingo game page which is fully based on ajax. :)
View 1 RepliesI 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'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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing 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.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
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.

What to return from my functions. Initially I was returning true or false to indicate success. But really, true only indicates that the function completed, not that it successfully did what it was supposed to do.
Try/catch is pretty useless as the browser tends to ignore most errors and so doesn't execute the catch clause in a consistent manner.
I notice libraries tend to return an object reference, which would be undefined on failure.

for creating pop-up but problem is that pop-up not displays user's home page instead it displays login page again(which is not required). how to create a pop-up which displays user's home page??
I am attempting to set up a very basic menu to drive a program for two different games. I need the menu to process using a primed sentinel controlled loop (where the quit option is the sentinel). I have already set up a function for each game and was hoping to call the function when the user selects a game. I also want to both (a) keep a count of the number of games played and (b) keep a points score, which is to be displayed before the menu is shown agin. When the user quits, I want the final number of points and games played written to document body. I have only very basic knowledge of JavaScript so I realise this is probably a simple answer but I've spent a heap of time on it so far and the menu still has glitches.
This is what I have so far:
SENTINEL = 0;
MESSAGE_MENU = 'Menu: 1. Pattern Game, 2. Guessing Game, 0. Quit'
userInput = parseInt(prompt(MESSAGE_MENU));
while(userInput != SENTINEL) {

I have to develop a vertical image scrollbar where 5-6 images will be displayed at a time and up-down movement will be controlled by arrows. I searched alot over net but didnt found exact result. either images were scrolling automatically or they were controlled by the position of mouse-cursor. Also I found script where single image comes on screen at a time (slideshow kind)which was controlled by up-down arrow.
