I am having a problem detecting when an tag is finished playing an mp3. When I do something like this:

     myAudio.addEventListener("ended", function() 
     {
          alert("ended");
     });

It only occurs the first time the audi is played. When I play the audio again, nothing happens. The same thing occurs when I use the onended=doThis(); method. I've heard maybe there is a way to do it in jquery, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I've also heard there might be a way to fix it by changing the audio div id everytime the mp3 is played, but this doesn't work for me because I need the id to stay the same.

Anyone got any ideas?
