Subject: RE: Custom Javascript control problems in IE
The RealPlayer ActiveX control exposes the same API that the Netscape
plug-in does. Your problem is that IE uses a different object model, so
document.jbox.SetSource is not going to work for you.
You need to change your javascript/vbscript to handle the document object
models for netscape and IE and it should work fine.
(I believe you need to call jbox.SetSource on IE and
document.jbox.SetSource on Netscape.)
