Question

According to another question, you can view your skin with this code:

<applet code="net.minecraft.skintest.ModelPreviewApplet"
        archive="http://www.minecraft.net/skin/skintest.jar" codebase="."
        width="320" height="320">
    <param name="name" value="535" />
</applet>

Which works!

But does anyone knows how i can make a textbox and a button which puts the written text in the value="535" tag (replaces “535” with the text box input)?

Link to the other question: Is there a web-embeddable skin preview application?

Answer 1

You can write your applet into the DOM at run-time like this:

<div id="wrapper"></div>
<input type="text" value="" onchange="writeApp(this.value)">
<input type="button" value="go">

<script type="text/javascript">
function writeApp(pVal) {
     document.getElementById('wrapper').innerHTML = '<applet  code="net.minecraft.skintest.ModelPreviewApplet"  archive="http://www.minecraft.net/skin/skintest.jar" codebase="."  width="320" height="320"><param name="name" value="'+pVal+'" /></applet>'   
}   
</script>

Strangely enough, the applet doen’t seem to like values other than “525”
