My home page does not have any videos, but other pages have video. What do you think of this code.
<script>
var ie=false;
<!--[if ie]>ie=true</p>-->
</script>
<body>
<script>
if (ie){
document.write("<a href='My Flash Page'>IE7,8,9 not IE10<a>")
} else {
document.write("<a href='My HTML5 Page'>all browsers + IE10, but not IE7,8,9<a>")
}
</script>
</body>
My home page does not have video, but the link will serve my other page in HTML5 or flash.
If broswer is IE7,8,9 then link goes to a web page with a flash player.(IE10 ignores code).
All other browers to include IE10 go to a web page with raw HTML5 video (full screen support)
I think it is a better way to have the script inside of the conditional IE comment than having the condition inside of the script.
<script type="text/javascript">
var ie=false;
</script>
<!--[IF IE]>
<script type="text/javascript">
ie=true;
</script>
<![endif]-->

Having an issue that has been frustrating me the last few days.
I have some videos on a site that are loaded dynamically from sitecore, and display on a page with thumbnail images. When you click those images you are taken to a lightbox with the video.
The problem is, the video plays in Chrome, Firefox and IE8 -, but not IE9 +. I thought it may be an encoding issue, but I have converted this video so many times to every format available to the web to no avail.
I am setting the plugin to load the video as flash first, then if flash isn't available, load as html5. This will clear all worries in terms of browser support of HTML5 video.
I was thinking that it may be the lightbox and videoJS plugin fighting with each other, or the fact that i am hiding videos and showing them, which i know can sometimes cause issues. I have decided to use a different lightbox, and people seem to have said that colorbox is a decent one to use with videoJS, especially since it has some built in callbacks onLoad.
On to the problem and the code:
The problem:
This lightbox is working, but videoJS seems to throw a few errors when i try and reset the player, which is breaking the videos in IE since its such a dumb browser.
As you can see in the demo link at the bottom, the videos play in IE just fine when they are just set on the page, but when you open the lightbox by pressing "vid1" or "vid2" you are riddled with console errors and the videos no longer play.
The code:

Console errors im getting:

In this case, my solution is to inject the video tag HTML into the lightbox content (when opening) and then call videojs().
So, in pseudo-code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".inline", this).colorbox({
inline: true,
rel: 'videohook',
width: '650px',
height: '274', //the size most be fixed
onLoad: function() {
var appendVideo1 = '<video id="my_video_1"......> </video>'; //insert the <video> tag. Note.Remove attribute data-setup='{"techOrder": ["flash", "html5"]}'
$("video_1").append(appendVideo1);
},
onComplete: function() {
videojs(my_video_1); //initialize video-js
},
onClosed: function() {
videojs(my_video_1).dispose(); //destroy video-js
}
});
});
</script>
<a rel="videohook" data-vidID="my_video_1" class="inline" href="#video_1">vid 1</a>
<div id="video_1" class="video">
</div>
I have included following to make it done. But Javascript elements on page are not working due to this.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$.get("header.html", function(data) {
$("#header").html(data);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<content>
</content>
</body>
</html>
If you can manage to setup a virtual server like XAMPP on your machine, then using PHP, you can include header and footer on just any page you want with a single line of code.
<header><?php include 'header.php';?></header>
and footer with
<footer><?php include 'footer.php';?></footer>
We are having trouble firing events on Android 2.x devices. From our testing, Android 4.x and iOS 5/6 work correctly. But on Android 2.x devices, we are sometimes getting the "end" event and sometimes we are getting the "start" event.
It says it has cross browser compatibility but anyone run into these issues?
Here are the relevant parts of the code
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/c/video-js.css">
<script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/c/video.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="videoplayer" style="margin:0 auto; text-align:center;">
<video id="video" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls autoplay preload="auto" width="300" height="300">
</video>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
_V_("video").ready(function() {
var thePlayer = this;
var startVideo = function() {
// do stuff
};
var endVideo = function() {
// do stuff
};
thePlayer.addEvent("play", startVideo);
thePlayer.addEvent("ended", endVideo);
});
});
</script>
I figured out the problem. I was able to reproduce it on a Android 2.2 and 2.3 emulator. No events were firing on video playback because there was an error loading the video.
Issues (For Android 2.x devices):
Playing a link from an HTTPS url was no working. The link we were using was an Amazon Cloudwatch URL which linked to an Amazon S3 bucket. When I changed the url to an HTTP vs HTTPS URL it worked.
I had to remove the autoplay attribute on the video element. Not sure why, but the video player in Android 2.x didn't like this.
Once I made these 2 fixes I was able to stream video on Android 2.x devices (as well as Android 4.x, iPhone and iPod)
I'm trying to use Google's Closure library for the HTML editor. I created a goog.editor.SeamlessField but if I enter a word that is too long for the width, it puts a scrollbar in and covers the text. How do I fix this?
This appears to be happening only in Firefox. Here is some HTML that demos the problem:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/closure-library/closure/goog/base.js'></script>
<script>
goog.require('goog.dom');
goog.require('goog.editor.SeamlessField');
</script>
<script>
function init() {
var d = goog.dom.getElement('div1');
var f = new goog.editor.SeamlessField(d);
f.makeEditable();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div style='width:150px;'>
<div id='div1'>
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
</div>
</div>
<button onclick='init();'>Create editor</button>
</body>
</html>
DOM fragments generated by this SeamlessField component differ for Chromium and Firefox. The former gets an classic div element, the later issues an iFrame. The scheme has something to do with how Firefox handles content-editable elements. By styling the iFrame, you should be able to avoid the scrollbar.
I'm using Aptana Studio with the following source code:
<html>
<head>
<title>New Adobe AIR Project</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/air/AIRAliases.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/air/AIRIntrospector.js"></script>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1");
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
alert('ok');
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This works if I just pull up the page as an html page.
But why am I getting
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: google.
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $
When I use Aptana's Run command, or even if I build the application into an .air file and run it from Window's explorer.
You cannot load external JS files using the tag in an AIR application. It violates the AIR security stuff.
You MUST load js files from the application sandbox.
