Playing sound notifications using Javascript?

Question

How can I do that, so whenever a user clicks a link we play a sound? Using javascript and jquery here.

Answer 1

First things first, i'd not like that as a user.

The best way to do is probably using a small flash applet that plays your sound in the background.

Found something like that:

//javascript:
function playSound( url ){   
  document.getElementById("sound").innerHTML="<embed src='"+url+"' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>";
}
