Syntax

XML	<Prefix:CustomTag ID=sID STYLE="behavior:url('soundrollover.htc')" />
HTML	<ELEMENT STYLE="behavior:url('soundrollover.htc')" ID=sID>
Scripting	object.style.behavior = "url('soundrollover.htc')"
	object.addBehavior ("soundrollover.htc")

sID	String that uniquely identifies the object.

Members

soundRollover Members

Remarks

The behavior-defined members listed in the preceding table are not accessible through script until the window.onload event fires. Waiting for this event to fire ensures that the page is completely loaded, that all behaviors have been applied to corresponding elements on the page, and, consequently, that all the behavior's properties, methods, and events are available for scripting. Attempting to use any of the behavior-defined members will result in a scripting error indicating that the object does not support that particular member.

The soundRollover behavior allows Web authors to specify an audio source to be played when the mouse cursor hovers over an element, or when the element is clicked. Use the HOVERSOUND and PRESSEDSOUND attributes to specify the image sources for the events.

The soundrollover.htc file can be downloaded from the soundRollover sample page.
