The correct code to run a javascript function using the anchor is:

  <a href="javascript:playx()">

The code above assumes that playx() is a link to another page. You can also use the onclick() event.

To call a function for which you do not expect a return value, do this:

<a href="javascript:void(playx())">Click Me</a>

: : : <bgsound id = snd1>
: : : <script language=javascript>
: : : 	snd1.src = "song.mid"
: : : 
: : : 	function playx(){
: : : 		//alert("Next song")
: : : 		snd1.src = "xMas.mid"
: : : 		return true;
: : : 	}
: : : 
: : : </script>

I don't know exactly what you mean by working, but I'd assume that the second one plays the music, and the third one sends you to a blank URL. The reason is that when you return a value of false in an event handler, it doesn't do what it normally should. Therefore when you return false a mousedown the link won't change color like normal, whereas returning false a click (which is when you actually get sent to the page) won't send you.

For working, three link will play a music. But why the third link don't play a music but change to a blank link as the second link can play the music and don't go to other page.

As I am return false to the link, it should stop link to the page and play the music.

Thank you.
