Subject: RE: DHTML Layer Problem in Netscape
Hey Charles -
Due to differences in the DOM between Netscape and IE,
you will need to reference the RealPlayer Object differently
for both browsers.
For Netscape, you can use the following syntax:
document.realLayer.document.embeds["sample"].DoPlay()
It probably makes sense to write a small JavaScript function
to handle both browsers, rather than use the HREF.
function avcontrol (method) {
if(method=="play") {
if(nav) document.realLayer.document.embeds["sample"].DoPlay()
else if(ie) document.all["sample"].DoPlay()
}
else if(method=="stop") {
if(nav) document.realLayer.document.embeds["sample"].DoStop()
else if(ie) document.all["sample"].DoStop()
}
}
<td bgcolor="red">
<A href="#" onClick=avcontrol('play')>Click here to play</A><br>
<A href="#" onClick=avcontrol('stop')>Stop Playback</A>
</td>
Good luck. Later.

Subject: DHTML Layer Problem in Netscape
Hello,
I've searched the forum for three days and can't find a solution. I have an
embedded Real Video which is positioned above another layer. The bottom
layer contains the controls for the video, but I can't send the
methods(doPlay(), doStop()) in Netscape. I don't know if it is the
Javascript syntax or the layer definition. Works fine in IE. Here's the
code:
<BODY>
<div id="realLayer" style="HEIGHT: 144px; LEFT: 250px; POSITION: absolute;
TOP: 90px; VISIBILITY: visible; WIDTH: 176px; Z-INDEX: 20">
<EMBED NAME="sample" SRC="http://208.206.43.184/test/ram/sample.rpm"
height="172" width="144" type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin"
controls="ImageWindow" center="false" console="one" autostart="false">
</div>
<p> </p>
<div id="redLayer" style="HEIGHT: 522px; POSITION: absolute; VISIBILITY:
visible; WIDTH: 695px; Z-INDEX: 19">
<table width=695 height=522 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="red"><A href="#"
onmouseout=javascript:document.sample.DoPlay()>Click here to play</A><br>
<A href="#" onmouseout=javascript:document.sample.DoStop()>Stop
Playback</A></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</BODY>
Right now the red table is a placeholder for testing but it will contain a
Flash movie that will send commands control the Real Player in the upper
layer.
Thanks for any help.
