Is somebody else having issues with playing the sound files for 20 to 90?

When playing 20 the page reloads automatically to show me the dictonary entry for 20. 30 and upwards opens new tabs with the dictionary entries.

Just because they denied you - 100 is 百 / hyaku / ひゃく

This should probably be written in the Katakana section; however, when writing vertically in Japanese, make sure not to mix up 一（いち）and ー (extended vowel). Many foreigners tend to mess this up. When writing vertically in Japanese 一(いち）remans horizontal, while ー (extended vowel) is turned 90 degrees to become vertical. So if you write 11, it would be: 十 一 If you write cake, it would be: ケ l キ Please remember this if you write vertically. Other wise it will confuse people. A friend of mine went to Madrid, Spain and bought a Japanese shirt (why it was in Japanese, I don't know), anyways, the shirt has the cities name written on it vertically in Japanese and instead of saying マドリード（Madrid) it said マドリー（いち）ド. (._.) Do not make that mistake please.

This is really hard to read using Hiragana, so I'll just go ahead and throw out there the kanji for the numbers, which is easier to read and write, and it would be a good idea to learn the kanji anyway. 01 = 一 ( いち ) 02 = 二 ( に ) 03 = 三 ( さん ) 04 = 四 ( よん / し ) 05 = 五 ( ご ) 06 = 六 ( ろく ) 07 = 七 ( なな / しち ) 08 = 八 ( はち ) 09 = 九 ( きゅう / く ) 10 = 十 ( じゅう ) Numbers 一 - 三 are easy to remember as they have one stroke for each number, like Roman numerals. 四 is easy to remember because it's the weirdest, and 五 has as many strokes as there numbers (five strokes). Beyond that, it's just good old memorization. I hope this helps.
