Play and pause one HTML5 audio element at a time via jQuery?

Var curPlaying; $(function() { $(". Playback"). Click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var song = $(this).

Next('audio')0; if(curPlaying) { $("audio", "#"+curPlaying)0.pause(); } if(song. Paused) { song.play(); } else { song.pause(); } curPlaying = $(this).parent()0. Id; }); }); That should work.

EDIT: var curPlaying; $(function() { $(". Playback"). Click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var song = $(this).

Next('audio')0; if(song. Paused){ song.play(); if(curPlaying) $("audio", "#"+curPlaying)0.pause(); } else { song.pause(); } curPlaying = $(this).parent()0. Id; }); }).

1 ...I am such a hypocrite... – NeXXeuS Apr 19 at 19:59 @NeXXeuS and I love you for it. Your function plays the songs while pausing other active songs perfectly.. but no longer pauses the song that's playing if you click on it again. – technopeasant Apr 19 at 20:08 I did...not understand that... – NeXXeuS Apr 19 at 20:30 @NeXXeuS.My mistake, let me clarify.

The page loads and all players are silent, as they should be. Clicking on one plays it appropriately, and clicking on a different one while it's playing pauses the first and plays the new one (perfect!). The only problem is that clicking on whichever one is playing no longer pauses it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
