I am working on a website for a video game streamer I watch and sometimes he plays with other streamers and viewers want to watch them both or in some cases more than 2, all play at the same time. So there are sites that do "dual streams" that will allow you to show both videos on the same page. My idea was to make something similar but scale-able to however many streams are needed. So far I have js functions with all the HTML needed add the video player but not sure how i would add a new video to the page without having to refresh. I am using the document.getElementByID('streams').innerHTML = mainStream()+newStream(); right now to manually show the primary stream and a image to click on to add another stream. function mainStream() { result = "\t<div id=\"stream1\" class=\"td stream\">\n"+ "\t\t<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" class=\"stream-object\" data=\"http://www.twitch.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" style=\"visibility: visible; \">\n"+ "\t\t<param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\n"+ "\t\t<param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\">\n"+ "\t\t<param name=\"allowNetworking\" value=\"all\">\n"+ "\t\t<param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\">\n"+ "\t\t<param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"hostname=www.twitch.tv&channel=the_black_russian&auto_play=true&start_volume=100\"></object>\n"+ "\t</div>\n"; return(result); } function newStream(streamNum) { result = "\t<div id=\"stream"+streamNum+"\" class=\"td newStream\" onclick=\"getStream()\">\n"+ "\t\t<img src=\"lib/new_stream.fw.png\" style=\"width:100%; height:100%\" alt=\"new stream\" title=\"Click to open a new stream...\" />\n"+ "\t</div>\n"; return(result); } In hard code it would look like this when printed: <div id="streams"> <div id="stream1" class="td stream" style="width: 301px; height: 169.3125px;"> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" class="stream-object" data="http://www.twitch.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf" width="100%" height="100%" style="visibility: visible; "> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="allowNetworking" value="all"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="flashvars" value="hostname=www.twitch.tv&channel=the_black_russian&auto_play=true&start_volume=100"></object> </div> <div id="stream2" class="td newStream" onclick="getStream()" style="width: 301px; height: 169.3125px;"> <img src="lib/new_stream.fw.png" style="width:100%; height:100%" alt="new stream" title="Click to open a new stream..."> </div></div> What I am looking to do is when someone triggers getStream() for it to add another stream and list the newStream() code last. This would make the new stream #2 and push the open a new stream part to stream #3. I also would like to add in functionality to close a specific stream. Any help is much appreciated! If I did not explain enough please let me know I will try my best to fill in any details I may have missed.
