Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 21.2007

Hey!

Can somebody help me? I would like to change the background-sound in my webpage…

[CODE]if (radio==”on”) {
document.getElementById(“sound”).src=’sound/sound1.mp3′;
}[/CODE]

…and between the <head>, I have…

[code=html]<bgsound src=”#” id=”sound” loop=1 autostart=”true” />[/code]

…but that will give my browser an error like…

[QUOTE]

getElementById(…) is null or not an object

[/QUOTE]

Please help me!..

@RobDavidMay 21.2007 — it can't find your bg because it's located inside <head> and not <body>

try sticking it in the body

@RobDavidMay 21.2007 — so, this doesn't work for you???

<html>

<body>

<bgsound src="#" id="soundeffect" loop=1 autostart="true" />


<script type='text/javascript'>


function playsound(soundfile){

if (document.all){

var soundEffect = document.getElementById("soundeffect");

soundEffect.src="" //reset first in case of problems

soundEffect.src=soundfile

}

}


</script>

<input type='button' onclick="playsound('yoursoundfile.wav');" value='play sound' />

</body>

</html>

Success!
