Vern this happens to me as well. It's probably nothing you're
doing, it's nothing I'm doing in my case. Some hosts' server
software I guess, or the hosting software (like "Cpanel" for
instance) is evidently screwing up scripts within the HTML
code. In my case, something is removing the </script> tags and
replacing them with </s ipt> or something like that, which of
course renders the tag erroneous. All you can do, (what I do)
is put the working code in a Notepad, and when the site messes
up just copy and paste the working code back into the HTML code
of the webpage. It hasn't happened to me in a pretty long
time, so maybe my hosts got it worked out. They said they
never knew what would be causing it though.
I don't know JavaScript, but looking at your page I see some
kind of "place holder" where something should be (IE6). I
can't find that area in the HTML code, it looks like the whole
page is in some kind of "script referral" for lack of a better
term since I can't even find any text on the main frame in it's
own HTML source code. However, that "missing thing" on the
page could be that tag you mention:
<embed src="DanSugar.mid" align="baseline" border="0"
width="51" height="15"
controls="smallconsole" autostart="true" loop="true">
..since the larger of that missing area shows that tiny icon
that's usually indicative of a missing "object" (not image but
missing "object"), plus the dimensions within that tag match
the outline of the smallest of the 'placeholders' I see, (to
the right of the missing object that has the icon, just an
empty border). You may try and put it back above the </script>
tag and see if it works. If it does, then save that copy for
when it acts up again.
Yep, I see this above the close of the tag:
document.write("A BEAUTIFUL MIDI: <b>"+ranmidi()+"</b><br><br>"
+"<EMBED src="+ranmidi()+" Width=200 Height=55
autostart=true>")
//-->
..and that matches the dimensions of the largest of the
placeholders. Try and put that "orphaned" area of the tag back
within the script tag.

The script below worked at one time but it appears I've messed
it up or the
free web hosting sites won't run it. Is the "var currentdate=0"
and the other
date stuff messing things up, I don't know what they are doing
there. Also the
last two lines, should they be within the begin and end script
codes?
<script language=> and </script>
The script is suppose to play midi files on the web page,
randomly picking a
midi each time the page is viewed.
On the web page you can see "A BEAUTIFUL MIDI:
DebClardeLu.mid" printed
out but there is no sound. If you want to see the page the link
is
