Ok, think will be ignoring html5 audio tag for now - this from w3schools.org:
"The latest versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera support some HTML5
features. Internet Explorer 9 will support some HTML5 features."
Stay well

Not yet, since was partly hoping to stick to possibly slightly older HTML 4.0
etc. Just in case older browsers wouldn't like it, but will check it out/test
it.

Have you looked at using html5 audio? I'm not sure if you can accomplish what
you are trying to do, but the audio element can be controlled with JS.

Ok, tried things like an <embed /> tag, but seems like <bgsound is most likely
better, but have now converted those same sound clips to a much lower bitrate,
and most likely without any MS specific encoding, so they're around a 10th of
the size they were originally, so might work better/load much faster etc.
Unfortunately doesn't seem like there's any real way to as such cache those
sound clip frames inside the browser, and then just force browser to play them
from local cached source, but anyway...

Cool.
The sound effects are currently something like windows encoded .wav files being
played using a <bgsound /> tag in a page being loaded in a page inside a sort
of hidden <iframe /> tag, so there are also a couple of different ways to
implement the playing thereof, so will double check on fiddling with those.
Thanks for trying it out...<smile>

Hi,
I am using Firefox version 3.6.9 in Vinux (Ubuntu 10.04). The game works great
but there are no sounds.
Awesome game by the way.
Thanks
Storm

Check out:

It uses the JQuery javascript library to implement a form of dynamic HTML,
including sound effects, and visual effects in a simple version of
ticTacToe/noughts and crosses, and all the logic/pseudo-AI is included in the
client-side javascript, which is hidden in a script source PHP file so that you
can't access it from the browser, using sort of alternating session variables,
which makes it only render correctly if it's sort of called from the actual
interface page, etc.
Comes to a total of around 214 lines of javascript scripting, and I just
appreciate the fact that JQuery really lets use implement/make use of DHTML,
including querying element attributes easily enough, and I even implemented
some minor dynamic style sheeting class changes to render visual effects, apart
from changing the interface buttons' text values, etc.
One thing still plan to try out is a way of rendering the sound effects a bit
more quickly than just reloading the hidden inline frames that have their
background sounds being made use of - will maybe try to either load each of
them in a separate inline frame and then just refresh them since the browser
might then make use of a cached sound file instance at each refresh trigger,
but that would also, obviously, render a bit of 'noise' in the beginning, so
not 100% sure as of yet, but anyway.
Lastly, my version of AI made use of here is to just get it to check possible
combinations of available buttons, by looping through the combo's to check the
sort of current button value states, and then choose which move to make next
like that.
Stay well
