I made this image so when you click on it, audio begins to play. But, because I'm using a full song and not just a little sound, I need to also be able to stop it.
How can I make it so I can toggle on and off the sound?
<audio id="1st_sound">
<source src="http://k007.kiwi6.com/hotlink/nbgq3cyywi/Damn_Good_Wife.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
</audio>
<img src="http://static.tumblr.com/6s0fefr/t3wne2irz/damngoodwifeplaybutton.jpg" onClick="document.getElementById('1st_sound').play(); return false;" />

You can use this function to check if the audio is playing:
function isPlaying(playerId) {
var player = document.getElementById(playerId);
return !player.paused && !player.ended && 0 < player.currentTime;
}
You could use this in a if statement.
if (isPlaying(...)) {..Pause..} else {..Play..}
For muting the sound you can use this: Muting a HTML5 audio element using a custom button
if(document.getElementById('background_audio').muted) {
document.getElementById('background_audio').muted = true;
} else {
document.getElementById('background_audio').muted = false;
}
