Triggering the Embedder using JavaScript

IceManLoneWolf

var options = {
      // Shared link to Dropbox file
      link: "https://www.dropbox.com/sh/keptcjl08q3wsid/AACui966iXcXPbagCJ2py2L-a?dl=0",
      file: {
        // Sets the zoom mode for embedded files. Defaults to 'best'.
        zoom: "best" // or "fit"
      },
      folder: {
        // Sets the view mode for embedded folders. Defaults to 'list'.
        view: "list" // or "grid"
        headerSize: "normal" // or "small"
      }
    }
    Dropbox.embed(options, element);

In addition to the above code and the embed code snippet is there anything else I need to get the dropbox embedder to work? Embedding via anchor links works, but I can't trigger it using the javascript code above in order to customize it a bit.

Thanks! Yes, you'll also need to define "element" which will depend on your page, but should be the element on your page where you want to put the Embedder.

 

For example, if you have an element on your page like this:

<div id="folder_container"></div>

 

Then you might define 'element' like this:

var element = document.getElementById("folder_container");
