How to autoplay the link in Anchor tag

Hello all,

I have to play a audio file on my web page automatically. I am using Yahoo Media Player.

Right now I am playing the audio like this....

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js"></script>

<td> <a id= "songlink" runat = "server" visible ="false" >Play Advertisement</a>
</td>

I am giving the href in code behind( based on the user location)

Code Behind:

songlink.HRef = "Media/song1.mp3"
songlink.Visible = True

With this method, I have to click on the link, to play the song..

But, I would like to play the song automatically( without any click) . Is it possible to do so from code behind?

Appreciate the help

Thanks

Is the song coming from Yahoo or your own site?

Hello CodeCruiser,

The song comes from my side, I am just using the yahoo media player to play the song.

I am changing the Href of the anchor tag from code behind.
Song1.mp3 comes from the Media folder of my project.

Thanks
