Help with getting innerHTML to working for embedding stream?
I'm trying to detect if a user stream is live on ustream and if they are, embed the flash player at the top of my vBulletin forums.
To do this, I am using this script which I found online: http://lifeofajackass.com/2009/08/ustream-tv-status-java-script/
The script works and it detects if a player stream is online or not, but I want to embed the player if they are online and auto-play it. This is what I'm trying:
<!--Place this code where you want the status to appear. -->
<font color='red'><span id="status">status</span></font>
<!--Place this code anywhere in the page. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
function set_status(status)
{
if (status == "offline")
{ <!-- replace the img html with any html that you need -->
document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = "<font color=Red><b>Offline!</b></font></br>";
}
else if (status == "live")
{ <!-- replace the img html with any html that you need -->
document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = "<font color=Red><b>En vivo!</b></font></br>";
<!-- This is where all goes to hell -->
document.getElementById("status").innerHTML += "<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="296" id="utv597657"><param name="flashvars" value="autoplay=true&brand=embed&cid=6849791&v3=1"/><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="movie" value="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf"/><embed flashvars="autoplay=true&brand=embed&cid=6849791&v3=1" width="480" height="296" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="utv597657" name="utv_n_833936" src="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /></object><br /><a href="http://www.ustream.tv/" style="padding: 2px 0px 4px; width: 400px; background: #ffffff; display: block; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Free video chat by Ustream</a>";
document.getElementById("status").innerHTML += "<object width="100%" height="300" id="obj_1297019226277"><param name="movie" value="http://chatsc2mx.chatango.com/group"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><param name="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always"/><param name="AllowNetworking" VALUE="all"/><param name="AllowFullScreen" VALUE="true"/><param name="flashvars" value="cid=1297019226277&a=CCCCCC&b=51&f=43&i=87&k=999999&l=FFFFFF&m=FFFFFF&o=30&r=100&s=1"/><embed id="emb_1297019226277" src="http://chatsc2mx.chatango.com/group" width="100%" height="300" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="cid=1297019226277&a=CCCCCC&b=51&f=43&i=87&k=999999&l=FFFFFF&m=FFFFFF&o=30&r=100&s=1"></embed></object><br>[ <a href="http://chatsc2mx.chatango.com/clonegroup?ts=1297019226277">Copy this</a> | <a href="http://chatango.com/creategroup?ts=1297019226277">Start New</a> | <a href="http://chatsc2mx.chatango.com">Full Size</a> ]</br>";
}
else
{ <!-- Let's do this just in case the service is down or something. You could show an error image as well -->
document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = "Error getting stream status!";
}
}
</script>
<!--Make sure to replace the channel name and API key. -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.ustream.tv/json/channel/castforfood/getValueOf/status?key=****&callback=set_status">
</script>It seems like everytime I try to use innerHTML to add more than a few lines, nothing shows up. Or perhaps it is making a fuss about the object tags? I have no idea. The thing works fine until I add the object code, and after I do that, it just doesn't display anything.
The first innerHTML is just adding a title to go above the flash player.
The second innerHTML adds the code for the flash player (embedding code copy/pasted from ustream).
The third innerHTML adds the code for a generic chat.
Help is much appreciated!
Edit: If it matters, here is the website I'm trying to implement this feature on: http://www.sc2mx.com/

Nevermind. Close the topic. The problem was unescaped quotation marks. Instead of " I typed \" and it worked. I'm an idiot.
