First, are you sure you want to use the onChange method for a text field
(most often used for a dropdown) - change happens frequently when typing.
Perhaps onBlur or onClick of something might be better.
Since you are ciommunicating with different dcr movies you could rewrite the
page each time with javascript to replace the value of sw1 and the movie
name. You would use the document.write function to rewrite the ENTIRE page.
Here is a simple example of rewriting the page (watch for email linebreaks):
==============================================================
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function getProperties(myDCR, myParam)
var page = "My dcr stuff would go here but written correctly, of
course:<br><br>";
page += "src=" + myDCR + "<br>";
page += "sw1=" + myParam;
return page;
}
function whichWord(something) {
var theDCR = "";
var theParam = "";
document.write('<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN"><html><head><title>Whatever</title></head></html>');
switch (something)
case "aaa":
theDCR = 'aaa.dcr';
theParam = 'aaa';
break;
case "bbb":
theDCR = 'bbb.dcr';
theParam = 'bbb';
break;
case "ccc":
theDCR = 'ccc.dcr';
theParam = 'ccc';
break;
}
document.write(getProperties(theDCR, theParam));
document.close();
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:whichWord('aaa');">aaa</a><br/><br/>
<a href="javascript:whichWord('bbb');">bbb</a><br/><br/>
<a href="javascript:whichWord('ccc');">ccc</a><br/><br/>
