So I was watching the movie RV and did a search for jojo (you know, had like one top 40 song and I guess acts in some movies). Anyways, found her promo website and how the hell is this webpage coded? The home page is a music video that takes up the whole screen? Actually thought it was pretty cool.

I've got my own website and wouldn't mind learning something like this. Is it all flash?

Its just an iframe to a youtube video if you look at the page source.

With a bunch of 0s and 1s.

You're aware you can view the page source, right? (I'm not trying to be rude, I just genuinely want to make sure you know you can do that.)

it's just too little too late

Thanks! I'll look into this.

Yeah, I tried to do this, but right click kept taking me to flash options. I'm not sure how to view page source with this new internet explorer. And... I just tried again and didn't realize the top bar isn't flash. Thanks!

You're assuming all your viewers have a very large internet pipe to pull something like that off (for instance I'm on free wifi right now and see nothing but a loading wheel for 20-30 seconds.)

You would also need mobile detection to an alternate site or any non-droid phone would freak out...

^^^Right-click anything that isn't the huge video and then choose "view source"

It's too bad that you're not using any other desktop Web browser, then you would have been able to just press Ctrl+U to get the source.

BTW YouTube itself makes the embedding code available for its videos, and the iframe version actually does accommodate mobile devices without Flash.

nice, thanks for all the replies

I have been tempted to switch to another browser, but don't really notice the difference (I also use firefox sometimes)

It takes a "very large internet pipe" to view a youtube video?

12/4/2011 10:45:07 PM

in 480p+ it does

The speed of the connection doesn't matter when Google throttles the shit out of YouTube videos to discourage people from actually watching them.

why do they do this...it's so frustrating

12/5/2011 4:34:18 PM

'Cause bandwidth is expensive, and Google is an advertising company, and it's hard to get a bunch of ad views without getting a bunch of page views, which you can't do when people spend two and a half minutes watching a video instead of clicking through five or six pages like they'd normally be doing in that time frame.
