For those who know something about SMIL (I know, archaic) or other xml-based somewhat modern-browser-compatible sound-playback enabled languages:
Is there a (Java)scriptwise method to invoke the playback of a certain element (for instance something like [document].getElementById("my_mediatag").play()). I'd like to know because i'm building a few applications that would really kick a** if they would include onevent audio, and are kind of mediocre just-another-_javascript_ without it. It needs to work without Java or Flash or other non-native plugins, however any w3c web standard is welcome, even if only IE supports it (like svg, smil).
Lotsa thanks in advance for the geek who still knows what SMIL is...
