Playing sounds with Javascript?

[Narz]

What is the best way to add sounds (that play once at a certain time) to a dynamic page? Some methods I notice don't work on Macintosh, this is a problem since I use a Mac. Thanks in advance for your help!

Does this work on a Mac?

I copied and pasted the code onto a HTML page and uploaded it to my server but it did not seem to do anything...

Take a look here
Its a previous post about the same thing.
I only know it works for IE, but it is a good one as it lets you control multiple sounds.

I hope it helps

Its the second time I've answered this question, and there's been no feedback.
If anyone has tried this sound function can they let me know if it works for other browsers.

Many thanks.

The <embed> version works in IE6*, in Mozilla 1.2* you can use the <object> version (only tested autostart=true, does anyone know how to play the sound for example on onclick for a button?), in Opera 7* the autotart=false is ignored

(*Windows)

here's a code that lets you work with windows media player cross browser......
