Hi,I have built an XML video player based on a tutorial from the republicofcode.com site. Each thumbnail has a title that loads undernieth it, but I also want to have that same title load in a bar above the thumbnails and videos to show the current title of the video being played. For example if I click on the "video 1" thumbnail, "video 1" displays in the blue bar across the top. Here is a link to a test example. myVideoPlayerHere is my code. You'll notice that I've given it a stab, but not sure what do now. If anyone can help I would be really, really grateful.
