If you use Internet Explorer for your browser, find out if the script will work. If it doesn't, should you use it on your page, your visitors using Internet Explorer will get error messages.

* If a midi player does not come up but the "Save this file" dialog box does, click "Open this file" and uncheck the box which says "Always ask before opening this type of file".
