Walter...I tried my best to get this to some public location to no avail. at this point I changed everything to myPlayer
var endtime = 10505.89+10; myPlayer= document.getElementById('example_video_1'); myPlayer.addEventListener('loadeddata', function(){ myPlayer.currenttime = 10505.89; myPlayer.play(); myPlayer.addEventListener('timeupdate', function(){ if (myPlayer.currentTime >= endtime) { myPlayer.pause(); } }, false); }, false); When I use the debugger in Google Chrome I'm no longer getting any errors...however the script doesn't seem to be executing. In the javascript console within the browser the only thing I've been able to get working FOR SURE is myPlayer.play() and myPlayer.pause When I try myPlayer.currenttime=20 it returns the value "20" but still wont play at that time. I've been going around in circles on this for days. very frustrated since it works great outside of rails. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
