Looking for html code that allows an Image to play a sound clip on a webpage WITHOUT a pop up player. Most codes ive found are designed to have the windows player window open to play the music file. Ive seen pages where you simply click the.
Definition and Usage. The play method starts playing the current audio. Tip: This method is often used together with the pause method. Tip: Use the controls property to display audio controls (like play, pause, seeking, volume, etc, attached on the audio).

The controls attribute adds video controls, like play, pause, and volume. It is a good idea to always include width and height attributes. If height and width are not set, the page might flicker while the video loads. The element allows you to specify alternative video files which the browser may choose from. The browser will use the first recognized format. HTML5 Audio and HTML5 Video have an API that you can hook into with javascript that lets you manipulate the video (or use the video to manipulate your html). In this particular instance, we are going to use the ENDED event as well as play and volume as well as load.

This tutorial deals with how you can insert music or some other type of audio file into a web page using HTML,or HTML5 to be exact. The code automatically creates a player that your visitors can use to hear the sound.

Things to Note

Since we will be using HTML5 to insert the audio player, your page will need to be in that version of HTML.If it is in an earlier version, such as XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.01, you will need to change itsDOCTYPE or DTDto '<!DOCTYPE HTML>', and adjust the rest of the code on the page, if necessary, to conform with theHTML5 standard.
If you have not yet startedmaking a website yet,and plan to use the free Microsoft Expression Web to do so, note that you can actuallymakeExpression Web use HTML5 for your website by default. This way, when you get to the pages where you want to playsound or music, you don't have to change anything, since the page will already be using the required version.
In addition, since this tutorial deals with the use of HTML, you will need to know how to insert HTML code into your web page.If you use a WYSIWYG web editor, you will have to switch to its code mode to do so. Tutorials on how to do this inExpression Web,BlueGriffon,Dreamweaver andKompoZer can befound in the links for those editors in this sentence that you're reading right now. If you use blog software, you will have toswitch to its HTML input mode to insert the code given below.

The <audio> Tag

The HTML code to include an audio player is as follows.

In the code above, the sound or music file is 'demo.mp3' located in the same directory as the web page,as specified by the src attribute. The optional controls attribute adds playercontrols to the browser's built-in audio player. The exact controls that appear depend on theweb browser, but they typically include the ability to change the volume, play, pause, resumeand seek to an arbitrary spot in the audio stream.

Anything enclosed between the <audio> and </audio> tags is ignored. You can thususe it to include an error message that will only be displayed in web browsers that don't supportthe HTML5 <audio> tag.

<audio src='demo.mp3' controls>
Error: your web browser does not support this audio player.
</audio>

Other possibly useful attributes include:

loop: the player will automatically seek back to the beginning when it reaches the end.
autoplay: the audio will automatically begin playing. Make sure you know whatyou're doing before using this. If yours is a normal web page (and not something that is part ofan online game), sound or music that automatically plays tends toannoypeople and make your website look like it was made by an amateur.
preload: this attribute hints to the browser (that is, the latter is not required to follow it)how much of the audio file it is to load in advance, prior to user-interaction. Allowed values include none(don't preload anything), metadata (preload meta data only), and auto (the browser is freeto do as it pleases, even preloading the entire file). The default value varies from browser to browser.

Demo

My demo of the HTML5 audio player usesthe following code (essentially the same as that described above):

<audio controls src='audio/demo.mp3'>
<div>
Sorry, your browser does not support the <audio> tag used in this demo.
</div>
</audio>

Feel free to visit that page with differentbrowsers if you're curious to see what the HTML5 audio player looks like in those programs.

How to Specify Different Audio File Formats

It's possible to provide different alternative file formats if you wish. To do this, specifyeach file in its own <source> tag instead of in the src attributeof the <audio> tag.

In the example above, 2 alternative file formats are offered, allowing the web browser toplay whichever format it supports.

Browser Support

Although there are numerousaudiofile formats around, in practice, if you want your sound file to be playable in the maximumnumber of modern browsers possible, you will probably need to encode it in MP3 and place it inan MP3 container.

Audio encoded in Ogg Vorbis, Opus and FLAC are not widely supported, usually only by Firefox (and its derivatives),although the Android browser also apparently handles Ogg Vorbis. In addition, audio encoded in PCM, placed in WAV files,are not supported by Internet Explorer (though Microsoft Edge officially supports it). As I said, if you want youraudio to be playable in as many browsers as possible, MP3 is probably the best bet at this time. Even then,the browser needs to be sufficiently modern, so that it has support for the HTML5 <audio> tag.

Automatically play music files on your website when a page loads

Audio

If you code your web pages using a text editor (as opposed to using a visual web editor likeDreamweaver),you may be wondering how you might go about adding background music to your web pages. While this is not a questionI encounter often at thesitewizard.com, I do get the occasional music aficionado sending me this query, hence this article.
