Hi Gang,
I've been wedged the past several nights trying to get a
very simple FORM SELECT OPTION to exec xmms or zinf that points
to a file or URL. Looks like using Java is the only way to
go and that means getting my feet wet in the Java world.
So far I've found small smaple scripts that, when you have a
down-down menu, and choose one, the browser goes to the URL
selected. (This thru the window.open() call, I think.)
Is there a Java function like: local.exec("<string">) that I
could use to point one of my mp3 players at a streaming
site?
Thanks for any clues; sorry for the way off-topic subject, but
lots of web-wizards hang out here.
gary
PS: There are many non-web ways of doing this, I realize... .
