Tim, thanks for your patience. I've got a lot of it working, but no
click response. The link you gave helped quite a bit, but in reading
the description of how to get clicks, it doesn't seem at all clear to
me as to how to proceed with JavaScript. I suspect it's not do-able
in IE with JavaScript. It seems to me that it's do-able with NN, or
with IE and VBScript.
For example, the RealMedia doc
(
http://service.real.com/help/library...s/embedint.htm)
samples for callbacks (two of them) are for Netscape only. That
doesn't mean callbacks don't work in JavaScript, but... Also, the doc
has the following example, for VBScript only:
=============== ==
Receiving Callbacks Through VBScript
To receive callbacks through VBScript, you use
the <OBJECT> tag ID, shown here set to RVOCX:
<OBJECT ID=RVOCX HEIGHT=256 WIDTH=256
CLASSID="clsid: CFCDAA03-8BE4-11cf-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA">
<PARAM NAME="controls" VALUE="all">
<PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE="http://www.example.com/video1.rm">
</OBJECT>
You then use a <SCRIPT> tag to receive a VBScript callback.
The following example shows a callback for OnShowStatus:
<P>Status Text:
<input type="text" name="statusTex t" size=100><br></P>
<SCRIPT language="VBS">
Sub RVOCX_OnShowSta tus(byVal text)
statusText.Valu e=text
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
=============== ====
That doesn't work in JavaScript (at least as I've translated it, and
using OnLButtonUp):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled </title>
<SCRIPT language="JavaS cript">
function onClk (button_flags, x_pos, y_pos) {
alert ("onClk!!");
}
function OnLButtonUp(fla gs, x, y){
alert ("OnLButtonUp!! ");
}
function WinLoad() {
document.getEle mentById("RVOCX ").SetWantMouse Events(true);
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onLoad="WinLoad ();" onClick="alert( 'body click');">
<OBJECT ID=RVOCX HEIGHT=60% WIDTH=60% onClick="alert( 'click!');"
CLASSID="clsid: CFCDAA03-8BE4-11cf-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA">
<PARAM name="MAINTAINA SPECT" value="false">
<PARAM name="AUTOSTART " value="TRUE">
<PARAM name="CONTROLS" value="ImageWin dow">
<PARAM NAME="SRC"
VALUE="file://D:\Program
Files\RealPlaye r\samples\clips \welcome.rm">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>
I get clicks in the body of the page, but not clicks on the RP
control.
Any ideas? Thanks again.

Have not done it in either - just gave you the link. There should be no
difference (essentially) between using vbscript and javascript.

news:44******** *************** ***@posting.goo gle.com... Tim, thanks for that. You're right about "id" vs. "name."
Looking at the link you posted, it looks to me as if I cannot control
RP in IE if I embed RP via <embed> (only NS). I may be able to do it
if I use <object>, but the doc doesn't explicitly say so. It shows
<object> and controlling via VBScript, but not JavaScript. Is that
how you read it? Have you done this in IE and JavaScript?
Thanks.

BTW "name" is not the same as "id". If you want to use getElementById then your embed needs an id.
