5,725 PointsHaving issues with audio tag in firefox with autoplay
I am having issues with this site. At first, when I open it on Firefox on a Mac, the audio autoplays in the player as intended, but seems to play more than one file or something and cannot be stopped, it just keeps looping onto itself. So I fixed that by using JS to say on load, play the file instead of the autoplay HTML attribute.
Everything worked great, but you would have to click on the play button twice to pause the song. So I added in some more JS to add the class of playing to the element which makes it now display the pause on load properly, but it still requires two clicks to actually pause the audio. I am wondering what JS I would use to make that button do the pause function on first click.
I am using the audio.js and audio HTML 5 tag as you can see. Any light shed would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
