Examples

This is an example entry in an ASX file.

<ASX Version="1.0" PreviewMode="No" >
<entry>
<title>First title</title>
    <author>Unknown 1</author>
    <copyright>1998</copyright>
    <abstract>WAV File</abstract>
    <ref href=""/>
    <banner href = "first_title.gif" >
        <moreinfo href = "first_title.doc" />
        <abstract>Visit the first abstract Web site</abstract>
    </banner>
</entry>
</asx>

In the following example, the Abstract property is exposed by the event object.

...
function trackChange(){
    banner1.innerText = event.Banner;
    bannerabstract1.innerText = event.Abstract;
    bannermoreinfo1.innerText = event.MoreInfo;
}
...
<t:media id="m1" src="/workshop/samples/author/behaviors/media/media.asx"
    onmediacomplete="updateBtns();updateFields();"
    ontrackchange="trackChange();"/>
...

<BR>
<B>Abstract for banner:</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<SPAN id="bannerabstract1"></SPAN>
<BR>
