I can't get my javascript function to work. What am i missing?

<!--Practice--> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="eng"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content"width=device-width, inital scale=1, minimum scale=0.5, maximum scale-0.5, minimal ui"> <title> Laura Sounds</title> <!--sytle sheet link--> <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head>

<body>

<!--Laura Image--> <img src="images/Laura.jpg" class"Laura" alt="Laura">

<!-- Buttons--> <a href="javascript:Angry();"><img src="images/Anger.jpg" alt="anger"</a> <a href="javascript:Crying();"><img src="images/Sad.jpg" alt="sad"</a> <a href="javascript:Happy();"><img src="images/smile.png" alt="happy"</a>

<!--Sound--> <audio id="Angry" src="sounds/Angry.wav" preload="auto"></audio> <audio id="Crying" src="sounds/Crying.wav" preload="auto"></audio> <audio id="Happy" src="sounds/Happy.wav" preload="auto"></audio>

<!--Javascript--> <script type="text/javascript" function Angry() { document. getElementById('Angry').play(); } function Crying() { document. getElementById('Crying').play(); } function Happy() { document. getElementById('Happy').play(); } </script> </body> </html>

The audio and image links seem to all be working.

Hi Jason,

The only problem I can see is that you having spaces before the getElementById. Try fixing them and come back to me if it doesn't work.

Try this. I just remove the space between document. and getElementByID

function Angry() { 
    document.getElementById('Angry').play(); 
} 

function Crying() { 
    document.getElementById('Crying').play(); 
} 

function Happy() { 
    document.getElementById('Happy').play(); 
}

Cheers!

Owa

You're also missing a few closing brackets for your img and script tags...
