JavaScript variable not working in HTML Audio control? -

audio player not serving purpose, audio source url received in json , saved in audio path, variable passed src attribute, still doesn't seem work

var audio_path = json_defects.audio_path;  $('#audio_edit').html('<audio controls><source src="audio_path" type="audio/mpeg"></audio>'); 

you're setting src literal string "audio_path". variables don't automatically expand in strings.

instead, concatenate variable resulting string:

'<audio controls><source src="' + audio_path + '" type="audio/mpeg"></audio>'
