I've got a gallery of sorts with 10 or so thumbnails that each represent one song. To control the playback of each, I've set a play button to fades in via jQuery. After some digging around Apple's Dev Center I found some native JavaScript to control audio. It works beautifully, but is written for control of one object at a time. What I'd like to do is rewrite it as one function that dynamically controls the playback/pause of the thumbnail you're selecting.
Below is the code that I found.. works, but it'd be a lot of unnecessary code to write it 10 times.
Thanks for your help and advice, always!
HTML:
<div class=thumbnail id=paparazzixxx>
<a href=javascript:playPause();>
<img id=play src=../images/icons/35.png />
</a>
<audio id=paparazzi>
<source src=../audio/fernando_garibay_paparazzisnlmix.ogg type=audio/ogg />
<source src=../audio/fernando_garibay_paparazzisnlmix.mp3 type=audio/mpeg />
Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.
</audio>
</div>
JavaScript:
<script type=text/javascript>
function playPause() {
var song = document.getElementsByTagName('audio')[0];
if (song.paused)
song.play();
else
song.pause();
}
</script>
