Well, I know bugger all about html, and even less about Javascript, but the
following seems like it must surely be possible, only I can't figure it out.
Any answers much appreciated!
I have an html page divided into 2 frames. The left side contains a table
with a series of hyperlinks to select different movie files to be played in
the right hand frame. Now, I could do it the easy (boring!) way, and make
each link call a unique html file that contains the exact same embedded
object definition for the media player, but each with a unique
<param name='fileName' value="Filename1.mpg">
entry to play the correct movie file.
However, it seems to me that, given that it is possible to call this url
with some parameters attached, I must surely be able to create a generic
movieplayer.htm file that uses the ?name=Filename1.mpg parameter to assign
it as the name of the file to be played.
So, my table url would be <a
href="movieplayer.htm?name=Filename1.mpg">Filename1</a>
But, for the life of me, I can't figure out what javascript function or
whatever I need to assign the url parameter to the embedded object parameter
in my movieplayer.htm file.
Help!!!
Ta,
Pascal.
