sure, there is the last try to make it work.
This is even just in the main webpage, so not even in the modal.

  New-UDHtml -Markup '<audio id="myAlert"> 
  <source src="..\public\sound\hornhunk.wav" type="audio/wav">
</audio>'
New-UDElement -Tag script -Attributes @{type="application/javascript"} -Content {
  @"
  let autoPlayAllowed = true;
  let v = document.createElement('audio');
  v.src = '..\public\sound\hornhunk.wav'; // we need this
  
  const promise = v.play();
  
  if (promise instanceof Promise) {
    promise.catch(function(error) {
      console.log(error.message);
      // Check if it is the right error
      if (error.name === 'NotAllowedError') {
        autoPlayAllowed = false;
      } else {
        // Don't throw the error so that we get to the then
        // or throw it but set the autoPlayAllowed to true in here
      }
    }).then(function() {
      if (autoPlayAllowed) {
        // Autoplay is allowed - continue with initialization
        console.log('autoplay allowed')
      } else {
        // Autoplay is not allowed - wait for the user to trigger the play button manually
        console.log('autoplay NOT allowed')
      }
    });
  
  } else {
    // Unknown if allowed
    // Note: you could fallback to simple event listeners in this case
    console.log('autoplay unknown')
  }

}

Funny story. I was watching a video while coding and I started to hear a lot of honk and I was wondering where the hell all he honking was coming from.

Then I remembered I tested your javascript and since I had the UD-Hotreloader, my page was reloading every 750ms after the last change.

Anyway, to answer your question, from my experience with New-UDElement, it does not work with script tags.
Instead, what you can do is to create a javascript file in the html client folder (or at a sufolder level of client) and reference it in new-UDDashboard -Scripts parameter (you have to reference the URL).

From there, you’ll be able to use it normally.

Therefore, do these steps.

  • Locate the client folder used by univeral dashboard
    (either C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\UniversalDashboard\2.2.0\client or the folder you used to publish your project)
  • Create a scripts folder and put your javascript (I.E. test.js) inside it.
  • Use -Scripts parameter with the URL of your script (I.E. https://domain.com/scripts/test.js (relative url will work too))
    If it doesn’t work, make sure you can reach the JS file from the URL

Hey MadWithPowerShell, your were correct, the file were not spelled correctly also :slight_smile:
hornhonk were the correct name of the file, not hornhunk :slight_smile:

I got it working by using the script parameter, and query the DOM to see if the alert where present, and that the modal were open.

This code then run every 1 sec.
not sure how to figure out how to hook into the modal open event?
