URL Decoding
Revata




msg:4023480		 12:35 am on Nov 12, 2009 (gmt 0)

My Javascript isn't very strong, but I've got an event listener that will show a filename when a media file is selected. The script looks like this:


function itemMonitor(obj)
{
gid('nowplaying').innerHTML = '<span class="style1">Now Playing: ' + player.getPlaylist()[obj.index].file.split('/')[1].split('.')[0] + '</span>';
};

...because some of the files have urlencoded filenames I want them to appear without the %27's and such, so I tried this:


function itemMonitor(obj)
{
gid('nowplaying').innerHTML = '<span class="style1">Now Playing: ' + player.getPlaylist()[obj.index]._utf8_decode(unescape(file)).split('/')[1].split('.')[0] + '</span>';
};

But since it's expecting a string in the unescape argument it doesnt work. Is there any way I can change the command so that it'll urldecode the filename rather than the word "file" in this case?

player.getPlaylist()[obj.index]._utf8_decode(unescape(file.split('/')[1].split('.')[0])) + '</span>';

Does that work?

Hm, that didn't work. In fact, entering "_utf8_decode(unescape())" in the command breaks the entire innerHTML. It doesnt even display "Now Playing: ".

I wonder is there any other way to decode other than with: _utf8_decode ?

How about this? 


function itemMonitor(obj) {
  var str = '<span class="style1">Now Playing: ',
    filename = player.getPlaylist()[obj.index].file.split('/')[1].split('.')[0];
  filename = unescape(filename);
  str += filename + '</span>';
  gid('nowplaying').innerHTML = str;
}

Success! That works, thanks for the help Fotiman. =)
