Playing sounds on MouseOver or Click

[sgreen0]

I found this script that I was hoping to use to allow me to include sound clips on demand without embedding a player. I guess it would use whatever player the surfer's browser was configured to use. It works fine in IE6.x (the only version I have right now), but I haven't been able to get it to work in NN6.x. You can test it here (http://www.jacobschimes.com/sound_test.htm).

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

Stephen
