Have audio tag play after a delay?

rated 0 times [ 26] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 31837 / 12 Years ago, wed, august 15, 2012, 12:00:00

I'm playing an MP3 using the <audio> tag in HTML5.

<audio controls=controls autoplay=autoplay>

  <source src=song.mp3 type=audio/mp3 />

</audio>

This works fine, but I am wondering how I can put a delay in before the song starts to autoplay? I know there's not a delay attribute, but I'm thinking it could be accomplished via javascript?

Try this, really simple but you should move the JS outside the markup...

<audio controls=controls onloadeddata=var audioPlayer = this; setTimeout(function() { audioPlayer.play(); }, 8000)>

    <source src=Kalimba.mp3 type=audio/mp3 />

</audio>
