  • I want the elementById to = play_ID Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 0:22
  • What is play_ID, an input? Can you make a sample? Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 0:39
  • Does play_ID uniquely identify the element that's been clicked? If so you can call toggleSound(this) and declare the function as toggleSound(audioElem) Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 0:55
  • Why do you have backslash before some of the quotes? Is this part of a PHP echo statement? Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 2:09

If I understand you question correctly, you want to pass the $Id variable into your function? 

onclick=\"javascript:toggleSound($id);\"

<script type=\"text/javascript\">

<script type=\"text/javascript\">


 function toggleSound(inVar) {
    //inVar is equal to the variable you want to pass into the function.

        audioElem = document.getElementById(inVar);
        if (audioElem.paused)
            audioElem.play();
        else
            audioElem.pause();
    }
</script>
