[FX.php List] [Off] Click sound via JavaScript for iPhone web-based app?

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Troy,

I did a bit of Googling around and came up with some examples. It's  
not clear to me whether you can just "open" a sound file from within  
JS or whether you need to embed sounds in the page and then just  
trigger their playback with js. It looks like it's possible, though!
