I use <EMBED> to add music on the website:

<EMBED id='embMusic' src='best/0.mid' ></EMBED>

I want that after the song is finished, another song would play.
So how can I use javascript to check whether the song is still playing or already finished? Please help!!!

:confused:

Thank you

Uh, I don't know of any unique properties that are exposed to the DOM for midi files via EMBED

I you know how long the song(s) are/is, then you could use setTimeout()

Thanks for thinking the solution.
Yet, I found the solution.
To solve this question, you have to know all the properties and attribute in embed.
You can use the script
for (variable in document.all.embedName) {
alert(variable+" -->" + document.all.embedName[variable]);

}

I used the above script to find the properties in the embed tag and finally found the following useful properties.

1. CurrentPosition
The song/video's current position

2. Duration
The song/video's duration.
:thumbsup: :)
