Should do.<br />
<br />
If you have a frameset you can even put it in a hidden frame and play it directly later:<br />
&lt;embed name=&quot;myWav&quot; src=&quot;some.wav&quot; hidden=false autostart=false&gt; <br />
<br />
top.hiddenFrame.document.e<wbr />mbeds['myW<wbr />av'].play(<wbr />);<br />

In the absence of responses, I may recommend DELETE unless it is clear to me that it has value as a PAQ. Silence = you don't care<br />
