Hi,
I'm using the Telerik AJAX Manager to ajaxify a page, and I want to have a sound played at some point. I have been unable to consistently get a postback coming from an ajax request to play a sound file. Any suggestions?

I'm up for anything. I just need to be able to reliably play a sound (on command) from within an ajax postback event. So - ajax panel, button inside the panel, click the button, hear the sound. That's about it.
I've tried a bunch of different things - but nothing that I've tried has worked reliably. Looking for a solid - works every time kind of solution...
Thoughts?
For playing sound I would advice to choose one of those method:

To play a sound after getting back information from server just read a little about AJAX:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wi
Its simple:
if( !window.XMLHttpRequest ) XMLHttpRequest = function()
{
try{ return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLH
try{ return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLH
try{ return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLH
try{ return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.X
throw new Error("Could not find an XMLHttpRequest alternative.")
};
function ajax(url, vars)
{
var request = window.XMLHttpRequest ?
new XMLHttpRequest() : new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLH
request.open("POST", url, true);
request.setRequestHeader("
"application/x-www-form-ur
request.onreadystatechange
{
if (request.readyState == 4 && request.status == 200)
{
if (request.responseText)
{
switch (request.responseText) // For example if you return "OK" or "FAIL"
{
case "OK": playSound () ; // HERE are sound playing method that you chose
break;
case "FAIL": alert('FAIL - bad validation');
break;
}
}
}
};
request.send(vars);
}

Maybe a little more details? Are you playing static sound? Or sound file name is send via AJAX? OR maybe whole sound is send via AJAX?? Does playing sound without AJAX work properly?
