Welcome aboard:
Note to self: autoplay="false" autostart="False" on embed else IE starts playing audio automatically.
Goodnight all.
Thanks for the opportunity, Jim.
trooprally and Mrs T: Mr T, glad to see you here. Little "sis" too.
Hey 3D. Finally got on here and checking things out. Good to also see you here. And you are more than an "honorary" member of the DC Chapter. You have been a stalwart of the DC Chapter and you have contributed much. I f not for you, we would not be as successful as we are.
I will let Mrs. T know that you said "Hi".
Mr. T
Howdy everyone.
Hey there Jim. Found the time to sign in and post. Lookin good.
I did a walk around last week from the work laptop.
On the iPad, comma, however, the embedded youtubes are just the blank frame. Hmmm. It would also be nice if the Post button was spaced a tad lower so we with touch screens and fat fingers could edit without posting.
What? You invited a programmer and didn't expect suggestions? :o)
LOL! Thank you very much. Good points. Chris has an I-phone and mentioned the problem with the videos. Will have to figure that one out. I'm not doing anything special so must be unique to the interface. How's this for a little extra space before the button:

First thing that showed up on google about youtube on iPad/iPhone was this (embedded ink). Looks like a format problem. Will look into it and see if there's something I can do.
Hope Obama's oPhones work ok. Not.

Oops, posted wrong link. Here's the text from the link talking about format problem:
How to convert the downloaded YouTube video to iPhone?
The downloaded YouTube videos (FLV videos) (Check How to download YouTube video to know how to download YouTube videos) cannot be played in iPhone yet as iPhone supports to play videos in MP4 format, not FLV. So you have to convert the downloaded YouTube videos to iPhone videos with YouTube to iPhone Converter. Leawo Video Converter is the most powerful and efficient FLV converter that can convert FLV to video in variety of formats, including YouTube video to iPhone conversion. Besides the function to convert YouTube video to iPhone, it can also help you to edit YouTube videos before you convert YouTube video to iPhone and convert 2D YouTube video to 3D videos. And Leawo Video Converter for Mac is professionally designed for Mac users to convert YouTube video to iPhone on Mac.
That's perfect. I'll ask my Apple interface guy at work about the youtubes.
We had the MS high order quotes problem too. Since the database could handle it, and java could handle it, we looked at the jdbc driver. Yup, there was a optional parm for the connection uri that we set to pass through high order ascii as-is. I think it can be set in the connection manager too. (public static final JDBC_LOCALE set to i.e. US_819 - which is what our database encodes chars in) made them play well together. It's the only change we had to make.
Here's a youtube embed using iframe right out of the box (if it will post):
Can you play youtube videos on youtube's site. If so, can you click and get their embed code and paste it here in a comment box. Just wondering if they give you different embed code? Nah, that wouldn't make any sense.
That shooting range lesson works perfectly, plays in the page, just like my laptop.
Ok, great. Will have to consider changing my youtube routine to use iframe.
Are those youtube vids in your Naked Communist post? Those are just big blank spaces, though the "Part 2" is at the bottom of the box. (That is what I was referring to initially.)
Yes, they are you tube videos.
My routine uses youtube's object and embed code. Looks like their iframe method may work better.
Aha. That'll also be good to know for my conversion project (enterprise, 2,000 jsp's).

Got a start on converting my youtubes to iframe. Glock, if you're still here, click on one of the naked communist videos now to see if it plays. Have work to do though to make them fluid. See embedded link
I didn't remember, but from looking at the commented out code in my program, it appears I first used iframe. And then switched to their other object/embed method, because it was easier to make them fluid.
I'm just hacking here, don't know much about this stuff. search for a routine on google that looks like it might to the job, then hack it until it works or I give up and look for something else. Too old to go to school. Would probably be dead before the course is over.
Yes! You got it.
The vids on the naked communist are working.
Speaking of school, I'm taking courses in jquery and ajax. Pretty straight forward stuff. Two years back, the spring framework with struts and hibernate pretty well fried the few remaining functional neurons left. No, you don't get off that easy with some of this stuff, you just wish you were dead. LOL Yeee.
Yeah, I'm learning AJAX the hard way. But that's the school I usually attend. School of Hard Knocks.
Looked at jquery and set it aside for now. I know I'm going to have to redo everything, after I get a better handle on it.
I got started on the wrong foot with ajax, and didn't really understand what the various append and insert before firstChild, etc, were doing. Took a little hacking but I've almost got her figured out. At least enough to do what I was trying to do. Code is now full of a whole lot of junk and fragments that I tried but didn't work but didn't want to throw away until certain.. Gotta lot of suff to clean up now.
jquery is cryptic only at first, and has very powerful canned routines available. Date-picker comes to mind... pops up a little month calendar when you click on a date entry field. It's just js, but in shorthand. jquery is awesome!
I only use ajax when nothing else will do... it can be a major server hog depending on data intensity, sessions, etc. learned by experience. Of course in production. On the upside, I got to learn how to use a profiler.
Will check it out again. I think I used it in one routine, but don't even remember where now. It'll no doubt clean up a lot of the messes I made trying to figure this stuff out.
Oh, I think it was an expanding text box.
