Sets or retrieves the number of times a sound or video clip will loop when activated.

Syntax

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.

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>
