Javascript Changing SRC of EMBED Quicktime

[Peter Stickney]

All -

Not one to use js extensively, so I'll give this a shot. I've got a
site that wants to have a "video journal". I figure I could just use
JS to change which video is being played. A simple dropdown menu that
onChange would pass the selected option's value and change the src of
the embed / object to the given movie, the option's value is the
filename.

I don't have much, but I'll post what I have.

Forgive me if this issue has been discussed, I had not come across in
my searches.

Thanks
