Play sound on the iPad from Javascript using jquery mobile
Raw
iPadAudio
I keep forgetting how to do this...
To play audio in Safari on the iPad using javascript you have to create the audio node in response to a user event. You have to give the audio node a legal url and call load. Then reuse that same node to play sounds in the future.
In jquery mobile I bound to the 'tap' event on body. If I haven't already created the audio object I create it there. Then I can use it later.
