Hi, I can't find a way to display "currentPosition" or "currentPositionString" below my player... I found this piece of code but I don't know how to make it work (I'm new to javascript)... var timer = window.setInterval("MyText.value = Player.controls.currentPositionString",1000); Any example ? Thanks in advance.

Media player for Mac doesn't support using javascript for scripting the embedded player, sorry. The full list of functionality for that (now discontinued) player is on this page : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/macicp.aspx You may instead be able to suggest to your users to install Flip4Mac codecs for Quicktime player, and script against that instead.

Hi Neil, thanks for this information. However I'm still interested in developping something with WMP (for pc users ;-)). Would javascript work for Firefox users ? Be it as it may, could you give me an example of the javascript code to display currentposition on my page (without having to click a button) ? Thx again Mat.
Hi Neil, thanks for your answer. I'd still like to do something with javascript and WMP, for pc users. Will it work for Mozilla Firefox ? Be as it may, could you give me an example of the js code ? Thanks again, Mat. ps: I wish to display the currentPosition "dynamically" (without having to click a button).

Are you also posting as 'max.mazzeschi' in the newsgroup microsoft.public.windowsmedia.web ? That happens to be the best place to discuss this, and there's another almost identical question over there which I posted a generic answer yesterday. Firefox users should be using the Port25 WMP plugin from here : http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx Scripting using the old netscape style plugin is a PITA and mostly non-functional.
