"javasripts"?

'Javascript script' != 'Javascript script',
as long as you do not show the relevant part.

That is a shame.

Well, if you post a link; I'll look at it. In the meantime, try this
document:-

....as it plays WAV and MIDI sounds in IE5-8 (and other odd assortments
like AOL IE for the Mac circa 2001) and the rest of the desktop browsers
(providing there is adequate plug-in support) on every platform I've
ever tested, including VMWare on a Mac. Most of the time it is a pretty
trivial operation as virtually of the those browsers lack plug-in
support (exception would be the Mac AOL thing) and the fallback is to
append a BGSOUND in the HEAD.

Without seeing this "game", I don't know if it is trying to do. Another
popular alternative for cross-browser audio is to use Flash. No telling
what might be going wrong with that strategy. But I do have
cross-browser tests for that too (see the Build Test link).
