I have a media player activeX on a page( where the user chooses a selection from a drop-down menu, and that movie plays. This works great in IE, and functions as intended.
In Mozilla, however, it does not. Due to ActiveX problems with the browser, there is additional code needed. In order to display the object properly, you need to add the following to the regular code, between the last <param> and the </object>:
Here is the normal code, as it correctly works in IE:
I need to know how I can get the filename from the users selection (see .js code below) to the src="" in the <embed> area.
streamchg.js
streamlist.js
I hope someone can make some sense of what I have written, if not please ask for clarification. I have spent about two days worth of time trying without avail to figure this out
Thanks in advance for any help.
