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.
NOTE: Please see updated post/code here: Responsive Videos (updated) (works with latest Video JS version at time of writing – 3.2.0) 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.

code · Video for Everybody!
Video for Everybody is simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5 <video> element, falling back to Flash automatically without the use of JavaScript or browser-sniffing. It therefore works in RSS readers (no JavaScript), on the iPhone / iPad (don’t support Flash) and on many browsers and platforms . Thanks to the rapid adoption of HTML5 video happening right now, Video for Everybody isn’t the only solution around .
Taking Advantage of HTML5 and CSS3 with Modernizr
Ten years ago, only the most cutting-edge web designers used CSS for layouts and styling.
How to use Modernizr to detect HTML5 and CSS3 browser support
Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects which features a browser supports. It currently checks 18 CSS3 features and more than 40 HTML5-related ones by examining how the browser responds to a series of tests. This is much more reliable than the outdated practice of checking the browser's name (browser sniffing). The full set of tests takes only microseconds to perform.Posted 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.

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.jQuery Slideshows With the Cycle Plugin

It sounds like a lot of work, but the process on the web server usually takes only a fraction of a second. You build PHP pages in Dreamweaver in the same way as ordinary web pages, and add the dynamic code using server behaviors or typing it manually. The PHP engine processes everything between <?php and ?> .

Now that you've created the wireframe and defined the application flow and layout, it's time to add an attractive skin onto the design. This is usually the most involved part of creating a layout, but Fireworks CS4 has many useful features to speed up the creative process while maintaining the ability to edit the document to make future changes. If you created the wireframe in the previous section of this tutorial, you've already experienced how guides, smart guides, and tooltips help you precisely line up the elements on the page. You can continue to benefit from using guides, smart guides, and tooltips as you follow along with this section, but these features will not be called out directly. Create a new document
