hi josh, i read your post to the javascript BBS about javascript stopping windows media: http://www.latech.edu/pipermail/javascript/2001-June/000932.html i looked at your page & it looks like you found a workaround. could you let me know what it was? .. i am having the same issue right now. really annoying. (i am hoping it wasnt putting the mplayer & the javascript in different frames, since, because of design issues, i have to keep them in the same frame.) thanks for your time, pliny. _____________________________________________________________
