How to embed Boos in Wetpaint?

How does one embed the AudioBoo player into a Wetpaint wiki page?

I have been trying to embed the AudioBoo player into a Wetpaint page using Wetpaint's "other widgets" features.

Unfortunately, WP doesn't yet recognize Boos as embeddable and since it strips out most HTML formatting its proving quite a challenge (read: probably impossible) to get it onto the page.

I have tried using an Iframe, which does show the page within the defined space, but since it focusses on the top left hand corner of the Boo page, and not the player, it is more effort to navigate to than just a standard link.

I would like to show only the player for aesthetic reasons.

Can anyone think of a work-around that can either manipulate the Iframe's focus (without JS, as WP strips out the scripting tags!) or just embed the Boo?

Advanced props to anyone that can put this to bed, as it is driving me nuts!

Best answer: Add a anchor to the player object
<a name="player">player code</a>


and then call that anchor when making the iframe.

<iframe src="boo.html#player"></iframe>

Live example (iframe file).

Response by poster: Thanks, Memo.

I couldn't alter the code on the AudioBoo page to give the player an anchor, but seeing the way you had hosted it in a sandbox gave me the idea to host it on a blogger account and set the anchor to that page.

A bit of a pain, but it looks great!

Thanks for the idea!
