Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with sound playing after perticular interval using javascript,the problem is my code is working fine in firefox but when i run it in IE, page automatically refreshes so if I tries to write something in any textbox, it looses focus on every refresh.
Here's the code I used :

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function InitSound()
{
    window.setInterval("DHTMLSound('beep.wav');",2000);
}

function DHTMLSound(surl)
{
    document.getElementById("dummyspan").innerHTML = "<embed src='"+surl+"' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>";
}

InitSound();
</script>
