Sorry for the delay, I've been so busy handling business (even some things that shouldn't happen but do) that I haven't been able to post much lately.

Try this, it may work:

<FORM name="guideform">
<SELECT name="guidelinks" onChange="window.location=document.guideform.guidelinks.options[document.guideform.guidelinks.selectedIndex].value">
<OPTION SELECTED value="#">--Choose--
<OPTION value="song1.mid">Midi 1
<OPTION value="song2.mid">Midi 2
</SELECT>
</FORM>

I think it will open the midi file in a little window, provided the viewer has a music plugin (most do by default now).

Thank you for your speedy reply. i am sure you are extremely busy but I am not sure how to make the midi play through the other window. i modified the script alot trying to make it work. i am curious, do you have possibly enough time to give me a sample of how that might be scripted. i only need one line of code for one song so i can examine it, and copy for additional songs. Thanks once again.

Hmm.. I think in IE you can change the bgsound with JavaScript, but it isn't compatible with NS.

I'm not sure of a cross broswer script for it.

If you leave it as window.location it may pop up each midi in a little console window, which should work in both browsers.
