Andy: Ah, yes... but its not really a onMouseOver script I want, its a onClick script... theres a lot of links on the first page, and it would get noisy if it was just a onmouseover... Checked the site out, and all I could find was soundscript for netscape!? Perhaps Im blind, or just plain stupid, not sure which one...

Ian: Thanks, sounds like the script I was looking for... didnt quite want to work in my IE, but I'll check the code and see what I can do!

Lloyd: You dont know the people that works here... there's no point in even trying to get them to learn Flash;-)
I know I wouldn't have any problems to learn to use it, but like I said, I don't plan on staying here very much longer... looking for a new job, Im bored to death with this ****.
Anyone feels like offering me a job in Sweden?

mdk: Flash is not really that hard to learn. There are some great tutorials that come with the demo and you can use these as templates. There are also many Flash forums on the net for support.

Hi,
For a good mouseover sound script that you can use seperate sounds on different links, mouseover and onclick, and works fine in NS and IE you can go here. http://jsarchive.8m.com/newAudio.html
good luck.
Ian

If you visit the http://www.easyjavascript.com you'll find numerous variants of the mouseOver sounds etc. I chose what I thought was the closest to what you wanted ... btw it worked for me using IE5 (tested it before I posted).

Thanks Andy.. a small detail though, I had to change the document.sound1.play() line to document.sound1.run() ... .play is for Netrape(tm) I think

and since it's a mouseover thingy, it doesnt make sound when the user presses the link, just when ... well, I suppose you know how mouseover works
Doesnt seem to work with onClick="playSound()", so I think I'll make it onLoad in the body tag on the "next page" so to speak... or is it possible to get it to work with onClick ? Perhaps if I somehow made a delayed link, but I dont really want that much trouble...

note to Lloyd... I considered using flash first, but I dont intend to spend the rest of my life in this lousy place (ie. not more than a couple of months, I'm bored...) and they need to be able to update it themselves... and they wont be able to learn flash

Use Flash for cross-browser mouseover sounds. They are really easy to make. You can get a free fully functional demo at www.macromedia.com

here you go

Now put this anywhere in your page.

If you want the link to work, the previous should look like this...
