Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to have the items in a playlist show in a
drop down/list menu format so that users can choose which item they would
like to view. Right now I have a playlist set up but a viewer has no idea
what videos are available to choose from. I tried playing with the param
values as well as doing a google search with no success.

Thank you

Thank you, Neil

You helped me before when I was trying to set a background image for the
embedded player.

From the thread you recommended, I was able to get the items from the
playlist displayed. I do have a problem, if you would be willing to assist.
After the last video is played when a title is selected from the playlist
menu I get a javascript "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument" error message.
According to the details it references this line: if (playlistItems > 0) {
as the culprit.

I tried importing my entire script into a Javascript checker, Scryptik,
since I'm less than a JS novice but I was unable to resolve on my own.

Thank you in advance for any additional help/advice.

That'd happen if for some reason the index passed into the function
was larger than the length of the currently loaded playlist.
Javascript uses zero-indexed array items so I'd start there, by going
alert(index) at the start of that function.

Your last item should have an index value 1 less than the length of
the playlist (eg for a 4 item playlist, the last index value should be
3 because of zero-based array indexes) so it may be worth checking the
code to see if it's assigning indexes correctly at the start - write
out the HTML to a textarea instead of using innerHTML on the DIV.
