My stop autoplay button is not working

[Litbelb]

I have some music that will autoplay, some pretty simple HTML.

<audio id=autoplayaudio autoplay="true" src="URL">

Now, I have a button and some JavaScript that should make the music not play on auto.

<button onclick=stopAutoplay>

function stopAutoplay { document.getElementById("autoplayaudio").autoplay = "false" }

The problem: I am getting no errors, it's just that nothing happens at all. The music doesn't stop, and I'm not getting any errors that will tell me what's wrong.

I am fairly new to JavaScript, so I appreciate any help.

Thanks!

You're just setting it not to autoplay, you're not stopping music that's already playing. Use e.g. element.pause() to pause playback.

Your syntax is incorrect, it should be

 

<button onclick="stopAutoplay()">  Stop </button>

function stopAutoplay() { document.getElementById("autoplayaudio").autoplay = false }

Can I have an example?

 

Thanks
