What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: gcount, video

Write your message below:
I've used gcount in several applications and it's always worked fine. Until I tried to use it as the argument of the onplaying attribute of the video tag:
<video width="770" controls onplaying="http://www.michiganbuttonsociety.org/Sc ... rviewVideo">.

The video plays, but the text file does not update.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The onplaying attribute won't load external pages, it can for example just run some Javascript.

You will need to use something else:

1. load the counter on the page instead of the video attribute. If you don't want to show the count you place the code in a hidden div for example.

- or -

2. create a Javascript function that will load the URL asynchronous and run the function in the onplyaing attribute.

Hi Klemen. Thanks for the response. I've actually tried that using the following script:

function getCount(){
message = '<img src="http://www.michiganbuttonsociety.org/Sc ... rviewVideo" style="display:none;">'
document.write(message);
return true;
}

and calling it from the video tag: <video width="770" controls onplaying="getCount()">

As soon as the video starts, the browser goes to a blank page.
