Excellent. that worked. thanks. Now on to my next... embedding an flv video. I've been able to embed one video for all items (as shown here: http://screencast.com/t/gV9BGe54DF0). But I want to do something similar to what you've taught me with a dynamic link.
so, using the technique you have shown me,when I try to make it a dynmic url based on content in the json file, it appears not to recognize the link. the player loads just fine, but the content doesn't. Here's my code that doesn't work: http://screencast.com/t/J6angtMc And here's what the output looks like: http://screencast.com/t/iiCmZsSu. I really appreciate this assistance. -Marc On Jul 21, 1:29 pm, David Karger <[email protected]> wrote: > <a ex:HREF-content=".resource"><span ex:content=".text"></span></a> > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Jul 21, 2009, at 4:24 PM, Marc <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Excellent this worked, and moved me forward.
