Hello, I have searched but have been unable to find an answer.
I would like to have a mouseover sound when someone hovers over a Page link in the sidebar. I've looked for a plug-in but can only find "image" mouseovers, not "sound".
If someone has an idea how I can modify the code, etc, that would be great!
Thanks!
This is how I did it. It has nothing to do with WordPress, but could work in any kind of site. It uses Javascript.

I think you could do it with JQuery, too.
The truth is, I hated this effect - it's not something I would ever do on my own site. But it got the job done when I was hired to do it.
There's no WP plugin for this method that I'm aware of. You'd need to find a way to get this onto links, paragraphs, what-have-you. It was not hard to do in MODx - I'm not sure how I'd do it in WP. You might need to hard-code your menu (yuck!) unless you can figure out a way to insert the javascript onto links or wherever. Oh, you could just stick the code into a widget using the HTML widget, and that would work.
If you do this, and I don't recommend that you do, use VERY small sound files. Otherwise your site usability will be very bad, along with having possibly annoying sounds.
Good luck

Yeah, I agree. It wasn't my idea to do a mouseover sound. I have created the buttons and placed the code into HTML via the "Text" widget, however, I wanted to find out how to do it (if possible) in WP - when using the Pages Widget in the sidebar. It may not be an option, but thought I would ask in case someone knew a way.
Thanks!
