|---|---|
| JavaScript | |
Property values
Type: Variant
-1
-
Loops infinitely.
0
-
Loops one time.
count
-
Number of times to loop.
Value Condition 1 Default. Loops once.
Remarks
To restart a sound or video clip after changing its loop property, set the src property or dynsrc property to itself. For example:
oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src
The following are descriptions of how the loop property works for some boundary cases.
| <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav"> | Loops one time |
| <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP> | Loops one time. |
| <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP=> | Loops one time. |
| <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP=0> | Loops one time. |
| <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP=-1> | Loops infinitely. |
Examples
This example uses the loop property and the src property to change the number of times a background sound loops.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/loop.htm
<script type="text/javascript">
function loopOnce() {
oBGSound.loop = 1;
oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src; // reload sound
}
function loopContinuously() {
oBGSound.loop = -1;
oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src; // reload sound
}
</script>
:
<bgsound id="oBGSound" src="sound.wav">
<button onclick="loopOnce();">Loop Sound Once</button>
<button onclick="loopContinuously();">Loop Sound Continuously</button>
