HTML Audio - Methods, Properties, and Events

HTML5 defines DOM methods, properties, and events for the element.

This allows you to load, play, and pause audios, as well as set duration and volume.

There are also DOM events that can notify you when an audio begins to play, is paused, etc.

For a full DOM reference, go to our HTML5 Audio/Video DOM Reference.
