HTML5 Video, minus Ogg
Posted Friday, March 19th, 2010.
Filed under JavaScript, web design and development with the tags Adobe Flash, How-to, HTML 5, JavaScript, JavaScript UI Goodies, web browsers, web design and development
Mozilla, the makers of Firefox, refuse to support the MP4/H.264 standard because it isn’t open-source and free from licensing constraints. Without Ogg, Firefox’s HTML5 video is rendered useless and requires a Flash-based fallback system. However, Firefox’s handling of the video element breaks the fallback mechanism. A scripted solution is required.
Here’s a simple script that will detect whether HTML 5 video is supported in the browser, and if it is, will check to see if this is Firefox. If yes, it deletes the specified video element but leaves the Flash fallback in its place.

If you’re trying to use SCORM in your e-learning, you’ve undoubtedly heard of JavaScript and ActionScript. But do you know the different between ECMAScript, JavaScript, and ActionScript?
Alex Russell has provided definitions for many of the ECMAScript-related names you might be reading about these days, including ECMAScript (3, 3.1, 4), ActionScript 3, Harmony, and JavaScript 2.
Very helpful!
