Hi,

I have not been able to locate a single Wordpres plugin that will handle
a simple webcam image refresh for a cam that uploads the pictures as jpg
snapshots. I added the following line between the meta and style tags in
the header.php file as per Wordpress.

<script src="/wp-includes/js/webcam.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

and as per the script instructions modified the body tag in the same
file.

<body onload="webCamInit();">

and on the code for the new page I put.

<script type="text/javascript"><!-- webCamDraw(0); //--></script>

I have also tried adding both script lines to the new page that was
suggested as well by the Wordpress/Javascript Codex page. All have
resulted in a blank space in the page. No image, no window. :-( I have
also tried other mods of these same lines. I will see what else I can
find.

Thanks,
Jim
