Passing variables to forms
I’ve been given a new requirement for html-streaming audio. There are plugins available to help with this, but are really for more complex problems than mine and lack style flexibility without editing the plugin code itself. I found myself wondering how I could pass a variable to be called within a form, so that I can define my ‘static variables’ within a form (e.g. style and options of a flash audio-player) and then call it with a simple <txp:output_form form="formname" /> plus the file path / whatever variable.
If there is a solution to this, then it has the potential to be extremely useful, as a webmaster could decide what software / script / whatever to use without being constricted to utilising or creating a plugin specific to the issue. It also allows multiple variations on the same code, which is not possible with many plugins (e.g. you want the style of a player to be different dependent upon different factors).
Thoughts?

Ooh… that’s a nice little addition for 4.2.0. Not quite all I was hoping for but 9/10ths of the way there.
Thanks
