Call a video with jscript-function

[Ruppen Pascal]

I have a problem. My function is this

function loadMovie(value ){
document.getEle mentById("Video ID").innerHTML= "<OBJECT ID=\"video\"
width=\"240\" height=\"180\"
classid=\"CLSID :22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95\"

CODEBASE=\"http ://activex.microso ft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf
..cab#Version=6 ,4,5,715\" standby=\"Loadi ng Microsoft® Windows® Media Player
components...\" type=\"applicat ion/x-oleobject\">"+

"<PARAM NAME=\"AutoStar t\" VALUE=\"True\"> "+
"<PARAM NAME=\"FileName \"
VALUE=\"http://winmedia.com/clip_"+value+". wmv\">"+
"<PARAM NAME=\"ShowCont rols\" VALUE=\"False\" >"+
"<PARAM NAME=\"ShowStat usBar\" VALUE=\"False\" >"+
"<PARAM NAME=\"AutoSize \" VALUE=\"False\" >"+
"<PARAM NAME=\"SendPlay StateChangeEven ts\" VALUE=\"True\"> "+

"<EMBED TYPE=\"applicat ion/x-mplayer2\"
SRC=\"http://winmedia.com/clip_"+value+". wmv\" WIDTH=\"240\" HEIGHT=\"180\"
ShowControls=0> "+
"</EMBED> </OBJECT>";
}

The problem is now that the MediaPlayer logo is showing but the movie don't
start??? If I use

document.write( "<OBJECT ID=\"video\" width=\"240\... )

that's no problem. The movie run. But I will integrate the movie in my page
and then I needed document.getEle mentById("Video ID")...

You have solutions

Thank and regards

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
You are mixing two DOMs (W3C-DOM and DOM-0) without checking for
either one. That is a Bad Thing, see other discussions here.

To make your source code easier legible, use ' as separators for attribute
strings or use " for the attribute and ' for the JavaScript string separators.

I do not see why that is required when document.write( ...) will do the trick.

Is that a question?

Simplifying your code and not mixing the DOMs as described above is the
first step in debugging that. Using the JavaScript console in Mozilla/5.0
and enable the display of script errors in IE is another.
