I'm so sorry to trouble you with this. I can see this has been asked before but the answers didn't make it completely clear to me. I checked my code with your responses and everything looks right. I love this player and would LOVE to have it on my site! So, to be clear...all I can get is a link on my page and once you click it, another full size page opens with a player bar. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! Cassie

  Cassie: The new-window phenomenon indicates a JavaScript problem. Check if:
  
  

  • You uploaded the external JavaScript file.
    
  • You included a link to that file in your main page.
    
  • You have JavaScript enabled.
    
  • You have “escaped” any apostrophes or other non-alphanumeric characters in the song title by preceding them with a backslash.
    
  • You included return false in the JavaScript section of the link.

  
  
  I posted a Web form that generates these types of links (and fixes apostrophes) at http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2007/06/08/web-audio-javascript-tricks.html. You'll have to change the function name from BatmoAudioPop to PlayerOpen to use it with this older script, though.
