Dynamically change embedded video src in IE/Chrome (works in Firefox)
- by macca1
I'm trying to dynamically change an embedded video on a page. It's working in Firefox but for some reason it's not working in IE and Chrome (strange combination). Here's the HTML:
<object id="viewer" width="575" height="344">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lmn94kn08Lw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&rel=0" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<embed id="embeddedPlayer" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lmn94kn08Lw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="575" height="344" wmode="transparent"></embed>
</object>
And here's my javascript code. A link is clicked to change the video:
$("#video a").click(
function() {
var videoAddress = $(this).attr("href");
$("#embeddedPlayer").attr("src", videoAddress);
return false; // stop the default link so it just reloads in the video player
}
);
Like I said the videos are changing perfectly in Firefox but in IE and Chrome nothing happens. Any ideas?
