Put and empty div on the page as a container for the embed like this:

<div id="thediv"> </div>

The instead to document write, just modify the inner HTML:

obj=documentgetElementById('thediv');

if(document.Form1.box0.checked==true){obj.innerHTML+='<EMBED SRC=A.wma hidden=true>';}
if(document.Form1.box1.checked==true){obj.innerHTML+='<EMBED SRC=A.wma hidden=true>';}

Change this:
if(document.Form1.box0.checked==true) {
document.write("<EMBED SRC=A.wma hidden=true>");
}

To this:
if(document.Form1.box0.checked==true) {
document.getElementByID[playThis].innerHTML.value='<EMBED SRC=A.wma hidden=true>';
}

And add this division to write to in your body:
<div name="playThis"></div>

BTW: Why did you start another thread under a different title
when it is the same question. If I would have known.........:mad:
