“Video For Everybody” Test Page
Full write-up article here . If you’ve arrived here from a link please note that VfE no longer includes QuickTime as part of the fallback, but the code for that version is still available here . Fallback happens from left to right. If HTML5 ` ` is not supported Flash should display, if Flash is not installed the images should display and the download links should play the video. Even with the WebM plugin installed, IE9 will still default to the MP4 because it has to be listed first in the source list due to an iPad bug
Convert the Video to Ogg for Firefox - How to Use HTML 5 to Display Video in Modern Browsers
The first format we will convert to is Ogg (sometimes called Ogg-Theora). This format is one that Firefox 3.5, Opera 10.5, and Chrome 3 can all view. Unfortunately, while Ogg has browser support, many of the well-known video programs that you can buy (Adobe Media Encoder, QuickTime, etc.) don't offer an ogg conversion option.
As part of a recent project, I needed to find a way to make self-hosted video (i.e. video files uploaded to client’s hosting server rather than YouTube or the like) responsive. I.e. so they shrink down proportionally with screen size. I decided to use the VideoJS plugin as a good way to support both HTML5 video (for those browsers that will display it) and a fallback flash version (for those browsers… namely older versions of IE… that won’t). Making HTML5 video responsive is simple. Making the flash fallback responsive is not simple. It took me literally days.

What's HTML5 Video? HTML is the markup language that makes up every page on the web. The newest version, HTML5, includes specifications for a tag, that's meant to allow web developers to add a video to a page in the same way they would add an image. In order for this to work, web browser developers have built video playback functionality into their browsers.

Before you ever begin testing your mobile site to determine how it looks on handsets, you should make sure the functionality of the site is working as you expect. This is not always straightforward, as you want to approximate the mobile environment as closely as possible. Fortunately, Mozilla Firefox supports some great extensions that can make testing your mobile sites a piece of cake.

A List Apart: Articles: Taking Advantage of HTML5 and CSS3 with Modernizr
Today, CSS-based layouts are commonplace and every browser has pretty solid support for them. But now we have CSS3 and HTML5, and the situation is repeating itself—different browsers demonstrate varying levels of support for these new technologies. We’ve smartened up, however, and no longer employ CSS hacks nor use browser sniffing—an unreliable, poor practice. We’ve also convinced more and more clients that websites don’t need to look exactly the same in every browser .
How to use Modernizr to detect HTML5 and CSS3 browser support | Adobe Developer Connection
Downloading Modernizr In common with other JavaScript libraries, Modernizr is available in development and production versions. With most libraries, the only difference is that whitespace and comments have been removed from the production version to reduce the size of the download. Modernizr takes a different approach.Posted on Friday 7th Oct 2011 by James Bavington Hi and welcome to this week’s web design video blog. As a web designer, I know how frustrating and time consuming it can be to ensure my work looks and functions the same across all browsers. And that’s not even taking into account HTML5 and CSS3. So as we know, old browsers like IE6 struggle to handle certain types of CSS2 let alone any of the new features or techniques that are available in CSS3 or HTML5. Old browsers’ refusing to go away isn’t a new problem.

Home / CSS3 Previews / Border-radius: create rounded corners with CSS! The CSS3 border-radius property allows web developers to easily utilise rounder corners in their design elements, without the need for corner images or the use of multiple div tags, and is perhaps one of the most talked about aspects of CSS3. Since first being announced in 2005 the boder-radius property has come to enjoy widespread browser support (although with some discrepancies) and, with relative ease of use, web developers have been quick to make the most of this emerging technology.If you go to http://yourblog.tumblr.com/api/read where "yourblog" should be replaced with the name of your blog (be careful, if you host your Tumblr blog on a custom domain, like I do, use that) you'll see the XML version of your blog. It comes up really messy for me on Firefox for some reason so I use Chrome, try a couple of different browser, it'll help to see the XML file well-formed, indented and such. Once your looking at the XML version of your blog, notice that each post has a bunch of data in an attribute="value" orientation. Here's an example from my blog: So, there's lots of ways to do this, I'll show you the one I used, and drop my code on the bottom of this post so you can just tailor that to your needs.
php - Integrating tumblr blog with website - Stack Overflow
In my exploration to learn on how to Embed Tumblr into my website, I came across the Tumblr API (Application Programming Interface). As I am no expert in coding, and having very little experience with PHP, XML etc, I wanted to find out how I could Embed Tumblr with the Tumblr API on a basic, and easy to use level. If you’ve read my previous post on how to Embed your latest Tweet into your website, then you may have heard me ranting and raving about SimpleXML. Essentially (from what i’ve learnt so far…), lets you extract specific ‘bits’ of information from XML files, and do ‘stuff’ with those ‘bits’. Very handy if you want to Embed Tumblr on your website! If you don’t know what an XML File is then that’s ok.
