Trying to get a javascript function to play a sound

Expand Post »

Hey, I am trying to get a sound to play when the user moves the mouse over on of my links. I don't know javascript, I just copied this code from a book, so it's probably something simple. Here is my code:

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
      function playSound()
      {
      src="misc020.wav";
      }
</script>
 
<A HREF="http://www.newhorizondesigns.org" onMouseOver="playSound()">Home</A></td>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
      function playSound()
      {
      src="misc020.wav";
      }
</script>

<A HREF="http://www.newhorizondesigns.org" onMouseOver="playSound()">Home</A></td>

Re: Trying to get a javascript function to play a sound

That's weird looking script. I can't see any way that it could work - in that context; 'src' wont relate to anything useful.

This page has some example code (lots of examples); it won't work for me; but I'm not on a computer with many media plugins:

Hope that helps some...
