The playback console below is produced in the Internet Explorer browser by
the <EMBED> command (see the Netscape version) - 
<EMBED src="../sounds/midi/maple.mid" autostart=false controls=console
       height=20 width=144 loop=true mastersound>

The Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin

Within the Netscape browser it is necessary to supply the height and width in pixels which match the size of the display console used.  If these parameters are included, the display will not work well in the Internet Explorer browser.

Within the Internet Explorer browser it is best to omit the height and width parameters.  This will not work well in the Netscape browser.

These disparities in rendering between the two major browsers make placing inline audio files using the <EMBED> command problematic.
