This:

<a href="index.html" title="play a note" onmouseover="onStringRollOver('sounds/a3.wav')">a</a>

			function onStringRollOver(surl) {

				// play the specified sound by embedding it in the page when requested

				document.getElementById("soundspan").innerHTML= "<embed src='"+surl+"' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>";



			}

<span id="soundspan"></span>

Tried switching the quotes, removing them, and even keeping surl static... same result. The same goes for removing the line entirely.

:sad me:

Are you defining the function after the href? Might be that IE is looking for the function before it's been defined.

Our educated and erudite colleague ShEx caught the problem: I was defining the script as "application/javascript" rather than "text/javascript."

Well played, ShEx. Well played.

I would like to thank my friends and family for their support
throughout the trial and error of this problem. It was tough in the
beginning but I was certain I would see the light at the end of the
tunnel. And now, the baron's mouseovers produce sound and
all is well again.

Dammit, if you keep falling in my tuba the bell will never get hammered back into shape properly.
