Your script is only executing once; when the page loads. When 1:00 arrives the page isn't testing the time anymore.

I'd use
Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
function timer {
       day = new Date()
       hr = day.getHours()
       if (hr==1) {document.soundfile1.play()}
        setTimeout ('timer()', 1000);
</script>
This function will call itself second (1000 miliseconds) and check the time again.

To start the process add this to your body element

<body onload='timer()'> ... </body>

Off-topic, but possibly useful nugget of information for the OP's next post: Java != Javascript.

Moved from Java to HTML/DHTML/CSS - JavaScript/VBScript.
