Thanks Daniel, that makes sense. So my refined question should probably how
would I get that form post/get command to also generate an HTML command that
causes a sound to be played. The page refreshes every two minutes so I guess
I would not want a sound command that executes every time the page is
refreshed, I'll need to try find a command that gets executed only when the
form contents are received and posted to the page. Back to thinking..
