JW-player Not working in IE
Question
I've the following problem, the following code:
$link = $_GET['link'];
$id = $_GET['block'];
echo "<p id='preview". $id ."'>The player will show in this paragraph</p>";
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "var s" . $id . " = new SWFObject('" . COMPANY_URL . "/system/addons/player/player.swf','player". $id ."','210','170','9');";
echo "s" . $id . ".addParam('allowfullscreen','true');";
echo "s" . $id . ".addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');";
echo "s" . $id . ".addParam('wmode','opaque');";
echo "s" . $id . ".addVariable('file', '" . $link . "&repeat=always&autostart=true');";
echo "s" . $id . ".addVariable('skin', '" . COMPANY_URL . "/system/addons/player/simple-sources.swf');";
echo "s" . $id . ".write('preview". $id ."');";
echo "</script>";
This is called every time by a jQuery load (this works because the echo "<p id='preview". $id ."'>The player will show in this paragraph</p>";
is showing).
In IE the player just leaves the 'player will show in this paragraph' while in all others browsers it is replaced by the jw-player. I can't find any solution on the forum of the jw-player or on stackoverflow...
Hope you guys can help!

Solution 2
There was a problem with the flv parsing I think.
when i added this:
echo "s" . $id . ".addParam('type','flv');";
It worked :)
OTHER TIPS
It doesn't help solve your problem, but I feel compelled to point out that the PHP is a XSS attack waiting to happen:
$id = $_GET['block'];
echo "<p id='preview". $id ."'>The player will show in this paragraph</p>";
Try using htmlspecialchars
with ENT_QUOTES
on the $id
before echoing it straight out into the HTML.
Even if this isn't production code, I don't like leaving such things posted on the interwebs for others to copy & paste ;)
