beginners questions serie: how to start audio in mediabox-CK and change controls

Hello Cedric,
I want to start an audio file in the lightbox. I am not sure, how the HTML should be correct for the link, opening the lightbox. I have tried this:
Code:
<a href="https://my-website.de/images/audio/how-to-have-fun.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" controls rel="lightbox[400 60]">AUDIO-Link mit Mediabox-CK</a>
The audio starts as soon the lightbox is open and it stops -like video- when the lightbox is closed. That's OK. But I want to extend the width of the audio controls, so that the visitor can more easily move the slider to a certain play time. How can I achieve this?

The width dimension of the audio control should behave similar to that of a video, when I have defined the dimensions for the video within the rel="lightbox[xxx yyy]" code, so that the controls can have a width of up to 80% but not more than max-width: 500px.

By searching the web, I have found, that it is not as simple to modify audio controls. I found a simple solution for that here:
Modifying the audio controls
Here is what they propose:
Code:
<audio id="player" controls autoplay>   <source src="http://xseignard.github.com/webGLWebAudioAPI/sound/OGLikeCapone.ogg" type="audio/ogg">   Your browser does not support the audio tag. </audio>​​​
and additional this CSS:
Code:
#player {  width: 100%; }​

But now I have no clue how to insert this in the link, which is starting the lightbox. Would you please give me a hint?

Hi
the player from the Mediabox is already an <audio> tag with width 100%
it will load the player from the browser, so you must check how to customize the settings of an HTML5 audio player using CSS

Yes indeed, I can see, that the width of the controls graphics are very dependent from the webbrowser. On my desktop I am running Firefox and Chromium. In both, the controls show up at about 380px width. On my smartphone in landscape position, the width of the controls is 100% full page width.

Thank you for your engagement and your very quick replies.

I am running a test website. There is one page, where I have now assembled all three use cases with Mediabox-CK. You find it here: Test Webpage for Mediabox-CK

I have checked by my side, if you want to change the size you can change it in the plugin options (plugin system >> mediabox ck >> general options >> default width)
