Can we execute javascript function from inside HTML5 pano?

[ScottWitte]

I would like to execute a javascript function (defined on the web page) as a result of clicking a button within an HTML5 pano. By my understanding this should easily be done using the "Go To URL" action. Instead of the URL being "http://mypage.html" it could be "javascript:my_function();" That substitution would work in a href link on the page. Why not an href link in the pano?

Hi Scott
Have you tried it?
I have not as yet, but thats not to say it will or will not work.
Have a go and let me know how you get on.

Have you tried it?

An obvious question that I should have answered from the start.

Yes. I tried it but it didn't work and that makes no sense to me for the reason stated.

Thomas probably knows the answer to this. If there is no way to make it work currently it sure would be a great addition for a future release.

Maybe you could edit the skin.js?
Look for "onclick".

[ScottWitte]

"onClick" is one event that can initiate an action. In my case, yes I used it. The resulting action of executing javascript remains elusive. Makes no sense to me as to why. But I gather there are few who have an interest in doing something like this.

It is too bad. There is some great functionality that could be added to Pano2VR if it were possible. The sort of capabilities that are possible using actionscript in Flash, for instance. My immediate interest was to send tracking information to my analytics program. I wanted to know which panos are being looked at, for example.

You could see stats on the server? (awstats)

javascript:alert(1);
works on buttons, but it seemed to open empty page also..

[commodore64]

hmm.. now I need this functionality also,
atleast it works, if you modify skin.js:

..
this.__div.onclick=function () {
me.skin.hotspotProxyClick(me.hotspot.id);
// your function call here (executed when hotspot is clicked)
..
