| |  | |
Hi,
I am trying make some multimedia files playable from my website. So far, I
am able to generate dynamically a new page containing the right <embed>
section. However, when I load my script, it overwrites the current page. Is
there any way I could load a new tab or window, and put the new content
into it?
Here is the script I am using right now:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function playmedia() {
newwindow=window.open();
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
document.write('<html>')
document.write(' <head>')
document.write(' <title>Media player</title>')
document.write(' </head>')
document.write(' <body bgcolor="#A0A0FF" text="#000000">')
document.write(' <center>')
document.write(' <h2>Playing the media file... ♫</h2><br>')
document.write(' <!-- show play buttons, autostart and loop once -->')
document.write(' <embed src="title.mid" hidden=false autostart=true
loop=1 autosize=1>')
document.write(' </center>')
document.write(' </body>')
document.write('</html>')
}
//--></script>
Any ideas? :-)
Best regards,

No ! no more used, prefer :
<script type="text/javascript">
| Quote: | function playmedia() {
newwindow=window.open();
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
|
// prefer isnstead :
if (typeof newwindow == 'undefined' || newwindow.closed)
newwindow = window.open()
// then, because you need to write in the document
// of the window 'newwindow' :
var document = newwindow.document;
document.open();
| Quote: | document.write('<html>')
document.write(' <head>')
document.write(' <title>Media player</title>')

document.write(' <center>')
document.write(' <h2>Playing the media file... ♫</h2><br>')
document.write(' <!-- show play buttons, autostart and loop once -->')
document.write(' <embed src="title.mid" hidden=false autostart=true loop=1 autosize=1>')
document.write(' </center>')
document.write(' </body>')

document.close();
newwindow.focus();

in your code 'document' is the document of the window which has the
script and not the document of your new window.

Hi,
Thank you a lot for your comments!
About the main issue: indeed, you are right I just
replaced "document.write" by "newwindow.document.write", and it works
fine :-)
I would have a secondary question (still about the same script). I am
triggering my script using a button:
<form><input type="button" value="Play" onClick="playmedia()"></form>
Is there any way I could do that using a link?
Best regards,

Also make sure your documents are validated against the DOCTYPE you
are using. "action" is a mandatory attribute of the <form> tag.

Great, all is working now
Thank you, guys!

Don't forget to add at end of your writting :
newwindow.document.close();
If not, my Fx never stops to wait the end of document.

<a href="errorJS.htm"
onclick="playmedia(); return false;">Play</a>
To play sound with 'embed' in same page (same window) :
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function playmedia(title) {
var E = document.createElement('embed');
E.src = title.href;
E.hidden = false;
E.controller = true;
E.autostart = true;
E.loop = 1;
E.autosize = 1;
if(document.getElementById('player'))
document.getElementById('player').parentNode.replaceChild(
E, document.getElementById('player'));
else
document.body.appendChild(E);
E.id = 'player';
return false;
}
</script>
<h2>Play sounds</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="sound1.mid" target="play"
onclick="return playmedia(this)">sound 1</a></li>
<li><a href="sound2.mid" target="play"
onclick="return playmedia(this)">sound 2</a></li>
<li><a href="sound3.mid" target="play"
onclick="return playmedia(this)">sound 3</a></li>
</ul>
</html>
Embed it deprecated !

Also make sure your documents are validated against the DOCTYPE you
are using. "action" is a mandatory attribute of the <form> tag. Make
sure the HTML event handler attributes are all lowercase i.e. onclick
instead of onClick. The comp.lang.javascript FAQ is a must read.

So far, so good
I had some formatting troubles using FORM, but with the method above it
works just fine :-)
My scripting is finalized now.
I needed that stuff for
LINK (and all sub-pages)
Again,
thanks guys ;-)

See NewPage and/or FreshPage in the include1.js section of <URL:http://w
ww.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-nclds.htm>, with the routines they call.
It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.

It is more efficient to create a single string and use document.write
once rather than make several calls. The center element is
deprecated, use a suitably styled div element. It doesn't seem
sensible to write comments.
e.g.
document.write(
'<html><head><title>Media player</title>' +
'</head><body bgcolor="#A0A0FF" text="#000000">' +
'<div style="text-align: center;">' +
'<h2>Playing the media file... ♫</h2><br>' +
'<embed src="title.mid" hidden=false autostart=true' +
' loop=1 autosize=1></div></body></html>'
);
