Re: how to change the the value of src in <embed> using javascript

First, I don't work much with embeds, so this is speculation. But you need to give your element an ID, as such:

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

<embed id="myMidi" src="music.mid">

Then, you can get to the object using document.getElementById("myMidi"). At that point, try simply changing the source:

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 document.getElementById("myMidi").src = "newfile.mid";
 document.getElementById("myMidi").src = "newfile.mid";

The "embed" tag may not allow that. What you may have to do instead is place the tag into a div, and then use JavaScript to completely rewrite the contents of the div. Research ".innerHTML".

There is a solution:

var oEmbed = document.getElementById("myMidi");
oEmbed.setAttribute("src", "newfile.mid")
