I have a html file (getStream.html) that takes a stream from a certain url and show it. The code is the following:

function player(vid) {
try {
var options = new Array(":aspect-ratio=16:10", "--rtsp-tcp", ":no-video-title-show");
var id = vlc.playlist.add(vid,'Video',options);
vlc.playlist.playItem(id);
vlc.video.fullscreen = true;
//vlc.video.toggleFullscreen();
}
catch (ex) {
alert(ex);
}
}
function mute(){
vlc.audio.toggleMute();
}
function play(){
vlc.playlist.play();
}
function stop(){
vlc.playlist.stop();
}
function pause(){

If I have this page on my pc and I try open it (using IE 7/8/9), all works good, but If put this page on my server, and then I access to it from a url like this: http://myserver/direcortyOfMyhtmlFile/getStream.html
the page is opened and the buttons are loaded, but I obtain the following error:
in IE8 and IE9:
That in english should be something like: "Impossible obtain the value of property 'add': object null or not defined"
In IE7:
These errors seems to refer to object in my html, but this is strange for me, because the same page works without problem locally.

test.html is will be helpful for how to use VLC WebAPI.
test.html is located in the directory where VLC was installed.
e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\sdk\activex\test.html
The following code is a quote from the test.html.

JavaScript:
You can get vlc object from getVLC().
It works on IE 10 and Chrome.
function getVLC(name)
{
if (window.document[name])
{
return window.document[name];
}
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")==-1)
{
if (document.embeds && document.embeds[name])
return document.embeds[name];
}
else // if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")!=-1)
{
return document.getElementById(name);
}
}
var vlc = getVLC("vlc");
// do something.
// e.g. vlc.playlist.play();
