View 1 RepliesI have a video gallery with a bigger div with width 500 pixels where the main video is waiting to be played and below is a smaller div with all the others videos from the gallery having width of 80 pixels.The list of video are managed by a content management system in PHP and are the result of youtube "Share Embed action" where the result is an iframe with the link for the video.How can i clicking on a video from the smaller div see the video being displayed in the bigger div ? already playing? or in a new layer above the website ?For now the video plays in the div it is located at.As an example here is the source video format :
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/somevideourlhere" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I am currently writing a CMS and I need a few minor variable values from the YouTube Api. I wish to embed a YouTube video into a page and then extract key information about that video such as:
1. The Title
2. The duration
3. The number of hits
I'm trying to create a video box on a website that plays a youtube video and then automatically plays random recommended videos with no break in playback. An endless playlist created by youtube based on the initial video. Youtube uses Javascript API. I have never used Javascript before but i'm just trying to get the video to play as above. There are few tutorials online and I couldn't find anyone trying to do a similar thing.

Can anyone share some ideas as to how we can resolve this. The player is in Flash, and uses an eternal XML file for the video. We have checked and all connection are correct.

I'm trying to adapt the following plugin:
youtubeplaylist
so that when you click on the thumbnails it also displays the video description underneath the video, a count, i.e. 1 of 3 etc. and previous and next buttons. Should I be using another plugin or is there a way with this one?
I am new to javascript (I started learning it today) so please explain it for newbies.I am trying to get the amount of video (in seconds) buffered already by the client and the whole duration of the video.Then, I divide them to get the precentage which was buffered so far.I have no problem storing the durating using:var duration = document.getElementById('vid').duration- returns "12.6" (seconds).I am struggling with getting the buffered time. I tried: var buffered = document.getElementById('vid').buffered.This one returns "[object TimeRanges]".From what I understood this is some kind of an object (Like an array?).I tried returning "buffered.length" and I get "1" back.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my website I have a video player at the top and below that a list of videos. Users click on one of the videos and that video begins playing in the player at the top of the page. Is there any way that the link the user clicks to play the video can also jump to the video player at the top of the page? I've tried various hyperlinks but I can't get it to work. The videos play fine, but the users don't realize that they need to scroll back up to the top of the page to see the video.

#### below is the video player ####
<div id='videoPlayback' style='width: 425px; height:344px;'>

I'm looking to duplicate the video-embedding technique shown on revision5.com, whereby they show the flash video to all platforms where flash is available, and only show the HTML5 player on mobile devices. Is there a browser-sniffing framework, or some other method available to accomplish this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a transparent flash video (virtual spokesperson) for my website. For demoing purposes, I would like to have this appear on any desired website.
This is what I am trying to produce - here a virtual spokesperson appears on the [url]website: [url]
Have a look at other sites which enable one to type in a URL and their demo virtual spokesperson appears on the given site: [url] [url]
I believe they do this within an iframe to display the underlying website.
Can someone recomend me some good AJAX book?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering if anyone knows of a great javascript book to buy. I am looking for something super duper hard core. I would love it to have documentation galore that includes all of the AJAX and DOM and XML. You know... like a javascript BIBLE. Something thick and comforting. Something that makes you feel all warm and toasty inside just knowing that it is there. So if I start running into some problem I can just glance at the book and rest assured that if the problem exculates not to fear. I have .... THE BOOK.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have still yet to see a JavaScript Editor that comes close toreading a good JS book, learing it and using it with a text editor.
Anyway, here my recipe for build successfull DHTML Applications:
If you want to support only M$ IE stop here and do the following:
1) Install blindfold
2) Repeat the phrase - I love my cage :p
Buy the Book: Buy O'Reilly's JavaScript The Definitive Guide
~ The best damn JS guide & reference period, end of story, finito
Get a good Text Editor with Syntax Highlighting support
~ Real programmers don't use WYSIWYG tools
~ You will never learn with these tools
~ Code is always inefficient
~ Apps to Use:
~ OSX - BBEdit - Powerful but no MDI support :(
~ Win32 - UltraEdit - Low cost, high power, competent
yntax Highlighting
~ ^nix - Kate or KDevelop - Well written but needs KDE (big)
~ Does not work with OSX's X11 Client :[ - ('+' key
doesn't work)
Browser Development Platform
~ Mozilla (1.3+) (FireFox release suggested)
~ Why Moz?
~ Mozilla based development works in:
~ IE 95% of the time
~ Konquorer (KDE/Apple...), Opera 99%+ of the time
~ Why not IE?
~ IE based development works in standards based
browsers only 50% of the time
~ IE black hole methods (non standards based) causes
people to ignore standards based DHTML objects,
properties and methods.
~ Browser Support Baseline
~ IE 5.5sp2+
~ This is the first (reasonably) stable
version of IE for advanced JS coding.
~ When ever I experience weird bugs from users I have them
them upgrade to IE5.5sp2+ and it goes away.
~ Netscape 6.n+
~ Netscape 4.7 should not be supported!
~ Opera ? (I plead ignorance here)
~ Konquorer/Safari ? (I plead ignorance here)
Debugging Methodology:
~ Use JS Console (Moz)
~ Put try/catches at all error prone functions / methods
~ Because of IE's error stupidity, you should get as
close to the source as possible.
~ Read stack property of error in Mozilla to
read stack of error (powerful)
~ Install JavaScript Console Status in Mozilla
~ Use window.onerror handler
~ In IE, read arguments.callee.caller... to read stack
~ Goes only to last error throw point ! not error source
point :[
~ Note: at this time, there is no way to to get to
the Error object in Mozilla from this handler.
Therefore no stack in Moz. Use Try/Catch instead
Add the following code to every page:
_w=window
function getElem(s){return document.getElementById(s)}
function getEvent(e){ return is.ie?_w.event:e }
Event Declaration
~ Avoid using inline javascript declarations (In HTML Tags)
~ Inline declarations is where you call a function or
run code from the html elements definition
(onclick="<RunSomeCode>")
~ This technique will not allow you to access
the event argument in Mozilla...
~ Instead use getElem("<Element ID>").onclick=<function name>
~ Declare handlers like:
function mySlickFunction(e){e=getEvent(e)...
~ This will ensure you always have Event Object
~ If you want to get fancy you could normalize the Event
at getEvent()
~ Method Declaration
~ Declare <obj>.<meth>=function <obj_acro>_<event>(args){
~ Example: myObj.smile=function MO_smile(args){...
~ Why? - When you build you're stack in the debug
you get the method names!
Other Stuff:
~ Use JSON (www.json.org) as much as possible to nest data
structures (for more complex programming).
~ JSON is fast (primitively supported), stable easy to read.
Could anybody else add to this list?
If people are interested, I can make a document and add other stuff
like JS debugging libraries, Consoles and other slick JS Debugging
stuff.
I have a login link that is supposed to open a modal and then direct the visitor to a submission form once they are logged in. Here's the link code: <a href="/resources/submit" class="login">Submit New</a> and the jquery based on an example in the ninja book:
Code:
$('a.login').click(function() {
openDialog('#dialog');
});
$('#dialog')
[Code]...
When I put a path name in the href, the modal opens but then quickly closes itself and sends the visitor to the form. If I use href="#" the modal opens and stays open, but when the visitor submits the form they are returned to the page they were on rather than the submission form.
I keep setting this aside and coming back to it, thinking I'll understand what's gone wrong here, but I still don't. I'd like this modal to work for other links with different paths, so I don't want to code the redirect into the js - I want to be able to control it in the link itself.
My client currently has a Flash book reader on his site that provides a UI for reading a book.Each page of the book is a GIF, and there are hundreds of books available.Now, my client would like to change this reader, and I've convinced him to let me rebuild the reader in jQuery.The hiccup is that, for copyright reasons, the images of the pages in the book must not be downloadable or accessible in the source code.(In other words, there shouldn't be a way to steal the book other than taking a screenshot of every page.)I want the reader to be powered by jQuery, it is, by definition, in-browser.

This is really only for anyone who has the book and has mastered the concepts of the rollover drop down menus from Chapter 7 in Stuart Langridge's DHTML Utopia book.
Does anyone know what the key is to getting the first menu list to appear inline, rather than as a block, while leaving everything else working as it does already?
Anyone trying out the javascript drop down menus from the Sitepoint Javascript Anthology book might have noticed that in IE7 the sub menus are misaligned, they are offset to far to the right.
Has anyone else come across this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? It has unfortunately broken several of my menus, though if you just try the demo menus from the book in IE7 they also suffer the same problem.
