LOOP Attribute | loop Property
Sets or retrieves the number of times a sound or video clip will loop when activated.
Syntax
HTML <ELEMENT LOOP = iLoop ... > Scripting object.loop [ = iLoop ]
Possible Values
iLoop Integer that specifies one of the following values:
0, -1 Loops infinitely. count Number of times to loop. The property is read/write with a default value of 1.
Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see dynamic properties.
Remarks
To restart a sound or video clip after changing its loop property, set the src property or dynsrc property, respectively, to itself (see Example). In Internet Explorer 4.0, when you restart a video by changing its loop property, the video opens and plays in a new window.
The following are descriptions of how the loop property works for some boundary cases.
<BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav"> Loops one time <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP> Loops one time. <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP=> Loops one time. <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP=0> Loops one time. <BGSOUND src="file:///c:\win95\system\msremind.wav" LOOP=-1> Loops infinitely.
Example
This example uses the loop property and the src property to change the number of times a background sound loops.
<SCRIPT> function loopOnce() { oBGSound.loop = 1; oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src; // reload sound } function loopContinuously() { oBGSound.loop = -1; oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src; // reload sound } </SCRIPT> : <BGSOUND id="oBGSound" src="sound.wav"> <BUTTON onclick="loopOnce()">Loop Sound Once</BUTTON> <BUTTON onclick="loopContinuously()">Loop Sound Continuously</BUTTON>
