Thanks for your help. Yes tried addding that but same.  There is a paramter almost identical but says "play" instead and it's set to false in all instances, but couldn't locate such tags in the javascript code.

The default dreamweaver code is lengthy, hope that's ok?  Could it have something to do with setting the "express install" as active maybe?
