Controlling HTML5 audio with Javascript

[MuscovyX]

I'm trying to make something that starts playing a song at a predetermined offset. I've tried Googling numerous uses of Javascript's currentTime, none of which work in Firefox or Chromium. Does anyone know how to use it?Also, there is a second problem that using JavaScript over vanilla HTML5 created - the audio frequently stops within the first 30 seconds. This didn't happen when i used the <audio> tag.

function StartSong() {	var audioElement = document.createElement('audio');	audioElement.setAttribute('src', '/uploads/music/Song.ogg');	audioElement.load() // What does this do? Seems to be unnecessary.	//audioElement.currentTime=35;	audioElement.play();}

it could be because your calling play() before the audio is loaded, try using a callback like:

function StartSong() {	var audioElement = document.createElement('audio');	audioElement.src = '/uploads/music/Song.ogg';	audioElement.load();	audioElement.oncanplaythrough = function() {		audioElement.currentTime=35;		audioElement.play();	}}

If I do that in Chrome, nothing happens. If I do that in Firefox, it just makes a disc-skipping sound.Edit: also I'm not sure if buffering is a factor, as I'm running it from localhost right now.
