document.body.removeChild . Do I have to reload the page? Help! please

[mx-guest2004]

(I'm not so good in javascript programming)
I have disabled an embeded object by document.body.removeChild(ref);
It works but to call the function which embed the object AGAIN, I have to reload the page.
Is there any better solution? I don't want to reload the page.

You don't have to reload. Please show us the code.

But why not just hide it and then show it later?

//hide
ref.style.display='none';

//show
ref.style.display='';

or u can just use appendChild... go search for "appendChild javascript" in google.com. that helped me :P

glenngv,
The problem is that ref.style.display='none' doesn,t work on sound. The panel disappears but not the sound.
I have 2 buttons:
music ON
music OFF
and I want the user is free to choose these buttons OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Ok. I chose the wrong way and it works
I had a function for embedding the object. This one been called by the "music on" button.
I made a function exactly the same function (with out any conditions etc. ) which embed an object which has hidden="true" and a src that doesn't exist.
This function been called with "music off".

This is maybe not the best way. But I just wanted to give user an extra option. The control keys for the music are actually on the player panel.

Have you read the link I posted?

[mx-guest2004]

Yes glenngv, thanks for that link. I got the idea there, but not 100% because I had another program structure. So it became a combination of his idea and mine.
