I NEED A SOLUTION TO ALLOW AN HTML DROP DOWN BOX OF FIRST NAMES TO BE LINKED WITH A WEB AUDIO PLAYER SO THAT THE CORRECT AUDIO FILE PLAYS WHEN THE CORRESPONDING NAME IS SELECTED FROM THE DROP DOWN. THE DROP DOWN BOX SELECTION WILL THEN BE SUBMITTED VIA FORM TO THE WEBSITE IN THE USUAL WAY.
I have added an image of how I imagine this will look (please note the web page has already been built and is live, however it does not play any audio file upon a selection being made from the drop down menu)
--------------------------------
For example, I have a select box with three names in it:
<select>
<option value="Lucy">Lucy</option>
<option value="Tom">Tom</option>
<option value="James">James</option>
</select>
I have three audio files of the names being sung in a personalised song located at:
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
I want one of my web pages to have the functionality (this is where you come in!) to automatically play the corresponding audio sample when a given name is selected from the drop down menu. There will be some form of web jukebox on the page that will allow the web visitors to pause or resume the audio. THE DROP DOWN BOX CONSTITUTES PART OF A WEB FORM AND THE CUSTOMER'S SELECTION MUST STILL BE ABLE TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE SHOPPING CART AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.
Your job is to design the code and whatever else I need to allow me to create the web page I have in mind (detailed above). I have a spreadsheet containing over 2000 first names in one column and hyperlinks to their corresponding audio files in a second column. I want a solution that will allow the web page to use this data to automatically perform the functionality described above. I should be able to add and remove names from the list/website with relative ease.
The solution will be provided to numerous retailers who will incorporate it into their own websites. Therefore the solution must be very easily transferrable from one website to the next and not require the retailer or the web visitor to install any software etc.
My ideal solution would be for you to provide me with two pieces of code and simple instructions on how I can populate the code with all the names and hyperlinks in my excel spreadsheet. The second piece of code should produce a web jukebox that will be displayed wherever the code snippet is placed on the webpage. The first piece of code will produce a drop down list of names (to be added in between <form> tags) and, when any name is selected, it should play the corresponding audio file on the web jukebox. The customer should then be able to checkout in the normal way with the chosen name submitted to the shopping cart as part of the order (the web page already does this - it just doesn't play the corresponding audio file).
I have a programme called Coffee Cup Web Juke Box that you might be able to use. However, I am keen for you to tell me if you have any better suggestions for how this will work. Please send me a PM with your bid and let me know if you can accomplish this and exactly what you'll provide me with to achieve the functionality that I desire. Please quote the word 'Lullaby' in your PM so that I know you've taken the time to read this.
