Troy:

Thanks very much for your code and effort.

Unfortunately, I was not able to get it to work for any of the browsers at my disposal (all Mac) -- it's probably my fault due to my inexperience at js. In any event, the test can be found at:

However, you have given me something to think about, which is waiting for the server to be ready before sending it commands to play stuff. I think this may require an ajax solution.

Off to study that.

Thanks again.
