Hi,  
I’m having a problem.  
I have an MP3 player built so that when a link is clicked on an html page the player pops up in a new window(so people can continue looking through the site while listening to music).  
The problem is that the track is loaded in the new window by clicking a load button which loads the MP3 via XML. I want to do away with the button and have that first track load and play when the popup window opens.  
Any ideas?Here’s the code!!!  
Thanks in advance.

var secs = Math.floor(millisecs/1000);

secs %= 60;  
if (secs\<10) {  
secs = “0”+secs;
