Placing Videos the Standards Compliant Way

jar Format

Though Jar files aren’t exactly videos, they were placed with applet elements before (and these are now deprecated), but it is possible to place them with object elements… I wrote a small article about placing some Jar files… it is titled ‘Standards Compliant way of placing a Freemind Mindmap‘ (also available in HTML).

But, in order to place a jar file… you should use the double-nested, double-commented approach:

<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object classid="java:freemind.main.FreeMindApplet.class" type="application/x-java-applet" archive="http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar" width="600" height="400">
   <param name="archive" value="http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar" />
   <param name="scriptable" value="false" />
   <param name="modes" value="freemind.modes.browsemode.BrowseMode" />
   <param name="browsemode_initial_map" value="http://rolandog.com/freemind/Polietileno.mm" />
   <param name="initial_mode" value="Browse" />
   <param name="selection_method" value="selection_method_direct" />
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE]>
   <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" codebase="http://java.sun.com/update/1.5.0/jinstall-1_5_0-windows-i586.cab" width="600" height="400">
      <param name="code" value="freemind.main.FreeMindApplet" />
      <param name="archive" value="http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar" />
      <param name="scriptable" value="false" />
      <param name="modes" value="freemind.modes.browsemode.BrowseMode" />
      <param name="browsemode_initial_map" value="http://rolandog.com/freemind/Polietileno.mm" />
      <param name="initial_mode" value="Browse" />
      <param name="selection_method" value="selection_method_direct" />

<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>

… the result:

    … autoplay does not, but have you tried “autostart”

    ….doesn’t work that way…

    The DivX web player plugin has a bug when you place any params in the object tag.
    This http://flt.nbu.bg/taxonomy/divx_no_embed.html validates but you don’t have the full controls in non-IE browsers as you can get them in IE6 and 7.
