Anyway to the subject that is bugging the hell out of me.
I am trying to use SHTML as my sites all use it. As it is normal html with a few tweaks, I don't normally have problems, but this is bugging the hell out of me. I have just upgraded to Expression and enjoying it... well I was to I hit this problem. lol
Ok, I have opted to remove more and more flash from my sites as I hate it, so using HTML5 now more and more. But I want to add sound to a link, so when a mouse runs over it, it will play a sound. On face of it simple code....
<script>var html5_audiotypes={"mp3": "audio/mpeg","mp4": "audio/mp4","ogg": "audio/ogg","wav": "audio/wav"} function archive(sound){var html5audio=document.createElement('audio') if (html5audio.canPlayType){for (var i=0; i<arguments.length; i++){var sourceel=document.createElement('source') sourceel.setAttribute('src', arguments
) if (arguments.match(/\.(\w+)$/i)) sourceel.setAttribute('type', html5_audiotypes[RegExp.$1]) html5audio.appendChild(sourceel)} html5audio.load() html5audio.playclip=function(){html5audio.pause() html5audio.currentTime=0 html5audio.play() }return html5audio}else{return {playclip:function(){throw new Error("Your browser doesn't support HTML5 audio unfortunately")}}}} var archive=archive("back.ogg", "back.mp3")
var archive=archive("back.ogg", "back.mp3")</script>
Then add...
<a title="Go at back please." href="http://www.site.html" onmouseover="archive.playclip()"><font color="#000000">
<span style="text-decoration: none; font-weight:700">I want to go back</span></font></a>
It plays, but problem is the clip is not in the same folder. It is say in http://www.site.html/soundsinhere/ and not in the main laning area http://www.site.html How do you get the scrip to load the sound from http://www.site.html/soundsinhere/ and not http://www.site.html? Also say if the sound is on http://www.antherwebsite.html how do you tell it to be pulled from that site?
Any ideas??? I know it will be easy fix, but cant work it out and it is getting me fed up! I would put down 8 other scripts and way I have tried to do this, but pointless in my view as all fail...
The script is in a header that is in another location and the body in another folder...
It runs the header by calling up from the main body as a standerd shtml include.
<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/soundsinhere/sound-header.htm"-->
Eg.
------------------
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Welcome</title>
<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/soundsinhere/sound-header.htm"-->
</head>
<body>
This is the page
</body>
</html>
------------------
Any ideas welcome.... I know I am loosing the plot with this idea... 
I could normally fix this, but at this point... lol
