title: Cannot play html5 audio on ipad safari
body: <p>I am unable to play html5 audio on iPad Safari..i have tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>var audio = document.createElement('audio');
      audio.type = "audio/mpeg";
      audio.src = audioUrl;         
      x.appendChild(audio);
  audio.load()
      audio.play();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>x.innerHTML = '&lt;audio autoplay=autoplay&gt;&lt;source src="'+audioUrl + '" type=audio/mpeg /&gt;&lt;/audio&gt;';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am able to play on desktop Safari, but on the iPad it says, cannot play movie...</p>
  
  <p>I am using ios 4.3</p>
  
  <p>One important thing which i might think i need to look at is adding mime type to htaccess..though not sure how and if that is the issue...But just to add, i can play the fallback mp3 using embed on older browsers..so does that mean even the html5 audio should work without the need of adding the MIME type?</p>
  
  <p>Please help me. Thank u..</p>
