Warning: Noob alert. I was a complete noob 8 or 10 years ago and could fumble my way around Javascript, but I haven't touched it since. It's coming back to me, but slowly I have a web page where I play a video. Everything is working fine (with lots of snippets taken from this site). Below is both a sampling of the HTML and Javascript code used. At the bottom of this post I've pasted the contents of the whole page in case it is helpful. Body Snippet: <div> <video id="video"> <source src="myfile.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <!--I WANT THE PAGE USER TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE SRC FILE--> Your browser does not support HTML5 video. </video></div> Script Snippet: var vvid = document.getElementById("video"); function playPause() { if (vvid.paused) vvid.play(); else vvid.pause();}//...and lots, lots, more video control functions. However, I want to allow a user to change the video file being played. I would be nice for them to be able to click on a button that opens the file dialog where they would navigate to and select the video to be played. But if that's too complicated to implement then just placing the path and file name in an input text box for submission &/or reading by the script is fine too. I don't have need to implement playlists or anything fancy. This is for my where the page and files are on a local machine and XAMPP is being used as the server. I can do it with loading the text blob, but I've tried for hours and just can't figure out how to allow the user to select the video source (src). I'd be very appreciative if someone would show me how to do it. Thanks in advance, Andrew CODE FOR THE WHOLE PAGE, IN CASE IT IS HELPFUL: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta content="text/html;
