    Are you trying to use Windows Media Player in a page by any chance? I believe there is no way to disable the alert due to tighter security in Internet Explorer 6. That's if your running Windows XP SP2.

    You can use <BGSOUND> tag to insert a sound file in your webpages. Check out www.html-reference.com/BGSOUND.htm

    I am using ajax to update my web page. when page contents changes the sound file plays.

    I think I can not use <bgsound> for this because bgsound only plays onload of page etc.

    Not necessarily... You can control its playback via Javascript using DOM.

    Here is a sample @ dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/javascriptsound.htm

    Thanks again

    Mty problem has been solved. You can write embed tag through javascript in your page through external .js file. Alert is not comming after doing that.

    You can apply this patch from MS to reverse the warning.
