Question

This is a strange question, I think…

I am embedding a video player using a <script> plugin (from “bitsontherun”). When the page loads, a video is displayed based on the url of the script’s src:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://content.bitsontherun.com/players/123ABC-DEF456.js"></script>

where “123ABC-DEF456” is the unique id for the video. I would like to be able to reload the script with a new video id, and the player that it creates when a link is clicked.

Does anyone have any insight on how to do this. I feel like I should be able to manipulate the DOM, but am unsure what function to use (getScript()?).

I have decided to go another route, using an iframe and updating the src of the iframe with the video id in the query string.

I have decided to go another route, using an iframe and using jQuery to update the src of the iframe with the video id in the query string.

$(".botrtn").click(function(){
    var videoID = $(this).attr("id");  
    $('#frameplayer').attr('src', "video-frame.php?id="+videoID);   
    return false;
});
