I am trying to use a button to start a track in an HTML5 audio tag using jQuery, but I keep getting an error.
var song = $('#audio'); $('#play').click(function() { song.play(); });
When I use document.getElementById('audio'), it works, but when using the jQuery selector I get the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'play'
Thanks for any help.
Try getting the native DOM element as jQuery knows nothing about .play
method on the wrapped array returned by the $('#audio')
selector:
song.get(0).play();
You can also write it like song.trigger('play');
. That will allow you to use the $('#audio');
selector.
