learning javascript. I got a project with links that trigger videos that live inside an iframe. The idea is that when you click the link (with id of "clickable" in this case), the video is displayed and starts playing. When you click again it closes and it also closes automatically when it ends playing. I wrote some terrible code and someone's already helped me out with this function:
$(document).ready(function(){
var frame = $("#frame");
var player;
frame.bind("load", function () {
player = $(this).contents().find("#myVid");
player.on('ended', function () {
frame.removeClass("open");
});
});
$("#clickable").click(function(){
if (frame.hasClass("open"))
{
frame.removeClass("open");
player[0].pause();
}
else {
frame.addClass("open");
player[0].play();
}
});
});
This works perfectly. What I would like now is, since my page contains about 10 iframe elements, not have to write this function ten times. So how would I pass the click link and the video id as arguments so that I can use a switch statement to be a bit more elegant about my code?
I am thinking along the lines:
var userClick;
userClick.on('click' function () {
var frame = $("#frame");
var player;
etc....
But I am not sure how to grab the id of the "click" if that makes sense, and how to grab the video id. Thanks for your time. P
