dynamically changing a param value

[emms]

not sure if this is possible but I need to write a script to dynamically change the value of an applets parameter.

so far I've got a load of script with, I'm sure, many errors in. but hopefully it'll give you a clue as to what I'm trying to achieve. I'm also not sure if this will work as the applet may not change when the param is changed (if you see what I mean...)

<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>
function changeimage(filename) {
window.document.imageviewer.Image.value = filename;
}
</script>

<select name=&quot;changeim&quot; onchange=&quot;changeimage(this.value);&quot;>
<option>outside1.jpg</option>
<option>comms10.jpg</option>
</select>

<applet name=&quot;BeHereViewer&quot; code=&quot;BeHereViewer&quot; archive=&quot;imageviewer.jar&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; height=&quot;528&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;>
<param name=&quot;Image&quot; value=&quot;outside1.jpg&quot;>
<param name=&quot;autoSpin&quot; value=&quot;40&quot;>
</applet>

-- oh dear more confused now than I was when I started to write this!

thanks for any help

I don't think it is possible to change it once the page loaded but I think it would be possible to do it using document.write() when the page loads. After that though your guess is as good as mine. Gary

I guess maybe there is a positive answer for you :

you can but you would have to replace the entire applet code

<div id=AppletHolder>
<applet name=&quot;BeHereViewer&quot; code=&quot;BeHereViewer&quot; archive=&quot;imageviewer.jar&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; height=&quot;528&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;>
<param name=&quot;Image&quot; value=&quot;outside1.jpg&quot;>
<param name=&quot;autoSpin&quot; value=&quot;40&quot;>
</applet>
</div>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;changeAppletParams(1); return false&quot;>change 1</a>&nbsp;
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;changeAppletParams(2); return false&quot;>change 2</a>


<script language=javascript>
function changeAppletParams(paramVal)
{
var paramset1 = &quot;<applet name=\&quot;BeHereViewer\&quot; code=\&quot;BeHereViewer\&quot; archive=\&quot;imageviewer.jar\&quot; width=\&quot;528\&quot; height=\&quot;528\&quot; align=\&quot;center\&quot;><param name=\&quot;Image\&quot; value=\&quot;inside1.jpg\&quot;><param name=\&quot;autoSpin\&quot; value=\&quot;70\&quot;></applet>&quot;


var paramset2 = &quot;<applet name=\&quot;BeHereViewer\&quot; code=\&quot;BeHereViewer\&quot; archive=\&quot;imageviewer.jar\&quot; width=\&quot;528\&quot; height=\&quot;528\&quot; align=\&quot;center\&quot;><param name=\&quot;Image\&quot; value=\&quot;outside2.jpg\&quot;><param name=\&quot;autoSpin\&quot; value=\&quot;30\&quot;></applet>&quot;

if (paramVal==1) {AppletHolder.innerHTML=paramset1}
else {AppletHolder.innerHTML=paramset2}

}
</script>

You're best bet is using a PHP script I think and then include() the variable back into the html after the input has been parsed by the user via a $param variable for example.
