Thanks for the response, Andy.
The URL is www.songsthatsoundlikeothersongs.com
The html files are in the site's root folder on the server, the sound files
are in a subfolder of the root called "\clips"
In the code these are referenced "relative"-ly: <a
href="..\clips\DontLetGo-Hearbreaker.MP3">play soundalike clip</a>
Like I said, I had it working as expected in an earlier version. (That
version had other problems -- hand-coded only, but only worked properly in
IE. Now I'm using nvu, which makes it work also in Firefox [who knows about
others]. Why the cross-browser thing works now when it didn't before, I
don't understand.)
