Hi pros,

I am new in programming, so please help me with this.....

I am have a website & am trying to put an embedded slideshow in an iframe... but the user can choose the slideshow from a dropdown list....

I managed a code that works on URL links but can't make it work on Embed ???

The code is as follows...

<form target="iframe">
<select onchange="change(this)">
<option value="">Search Engines
</option><option value="http://www.google.co.uk"> Google
</option><option value="http://www.yahoo.co.uk"> Yahoo



</option></select>
</form>

<iframe name="iframe" width="50%"></iframe>

<script language="Javascript">
function change(select) {
if( select.options[ select.selectedIndex].value) {
select.form.action =
select.options[ select.selectedIndex].value;
select.form.submit();
}
}
</script>


I want to try to put this embed in the dropdown :


<div><embed src="http://widget-e7.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=lt&amp;il=1&amp;channel=720575940454 85799&amp;site=widget-e7.slide.com" style="width: 450px; height: 200px;" name="flashticker" align="middle"><div style="width: 450px; text-align: left;">&nbsp;<a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&amp;ad=0&amp;id=72057594045485799&amp; map=2" target="_blank"><br></a></div></div>

You should not use <embed> at all. It will cause some IE users problems, they'll be forced to 'activate' the content before they can even see it. In the stickies at the top of this forum is a whole thread devoted to other methods.

Why are you using an iFrame ? They are generally NOT a good idea.

Absolutly right, Embed and IFRames are not good at all. There is free ajax for this so your website will not go down, you can search at hotscripts.com

Well, thanks for the reply, i need the iframes as i upload my photos on various albums in Slide.com, & momentarily to view these albums my viewers are being linked in a new page to Slide.com
