Ken2k7 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 You need AJAX. Or use frames, but that is highly not recommended as frames are pretty much dead nowadays. Also, what's a video tag? document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0]; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/199264-pass-javascript-output-to-a-php-variable/#findComment-1045873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
