Mouseover Sound

Script Introduction

This script, by Stone5150, will play a sound when the mouse is moved over a link. This works with IE4+ only, other browsers should just see a plain link.

Cut and Paste Code: BODY Section
This code should be placed between the <body> and </body> tags.

Installation Instructions

  1. Paste the BODY Section code from above between the <body> and </body> tags on your page, exactly where you want the forward and back images to appear.

  2. Find the matching lines below in the script and change the text in red to the URLs and text you wish to use:

    <EMBED SRC="sound_file_name.wav" autostart="false" hidden="true">

    document.all.sound.src = "sound_file_name.wav";

    <A HREF="http://yoursite.com/page.html" onMouseover="playHome()">HERE</A>

  3. Check the Format Window to be sure you do not have one single line of code, or too many line breaks in the code.

Example

A working sample of the script is shown below.

Put your mouse on the link to hear a sound:
