View Full Version : Computer question: Finding the URL

How can I find the URL for a portion of a web-site when it is embedded in a JavaScript link?
Specifically, I'm looking for various URLs for web-sites that have streaming audio. We recently got a digital media receiver (http://rokulabs.com/products/soundbridge/index.php) that allows audio files from the computer and streaming audio from the Internet to be played on our entertainment center (in another room) through a wireless network.
I've identified several web-sites that I've used to listen to their streaming audio feed, but the "listen" link is either part of a frame on their web page or pops up another window. Either way, when you highlight the link, it's a javascript link.
I've tried Google, Ask.com, about.com, all to no avail.
TIA!

Usually I can put my cursor on the object, right click and go to proporties to get the address. If it is within another frame, I would open the frame and try the same thing.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I think I want one of these gadgets. Which model do you have, and are you happy with its performance?

Try right clicking in the whitespace of the page and select "View Source". You can then look through the source code for the information about the actual URL. But this may be more work than you want to do... you'll know why I say that once you try viewing the source code for a couple pages... it can be rather convoluted and loooong.

Tried that! As I said, it's JavaScript, so that's all that pops up in properties.
I've got the M1000, and so far, we're pretty pleased with it. Frankly we got it more for the streaming audio available on-line since there aren't a whole lot of music files on this computer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and found what I thought were the correct URLs, but, alas, doesn't work!
And, you're right - they are loooooooooong!
