HTML - Html5 Vs Flash
i heard somewhere this is a war.. can I ask (not to familiar with html5) what about html5 encroaches on flash? what new elements/features?
If it does compensate i know Jobbs will be pushing the hell out of it (html5) Similar TutorialsI am a relative newcomer to HTML5, and love it, especially the ability to use video more easily. I am trying this out with the ability to gracefully degrade to Flash for those browsers that do not support the <video> element, and thought that this would work:- Code: <video width="640" height="480" controls> <source src="videos/coots.ipad.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="videos/coots.webmvp8.webm" type="video/webm" /> <source src="videos/coots.theora.ogv" type="video/ogg" /> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="480" id="movie_name" align="middle"> <param name="movie" value="videos/coots.swf.swf"/> <!--[if !IE]>--> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="videos/coots.swf.swf" width="550" height="400"> <param name="movie" value="videos/coots.swf.swf"/> <!--<![endif]--> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash"> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player"/> </a> <!--[if !IE]>--> </object> <!--<![endif]--> </object> </video> It seems to work fine in Firefox and Opera, but Chrome (surprisingly) seems to ignore it, as does (unsurprisingly) IE8. I have been puzzling over it for a couple of days now and can't see the solution. I know the solution will be quite obvious when I see it, but I am just to close to it at present to be able to figure it out... I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 and I am trying to get a flash embed to display on it but I am having a lot of trouble. i have successfully used and enabled different flash objects elsewhere but this is the only one that wont run. so I know it will work. HTML Code: <head> <title>iSwim</title> </head> <body> <div style="width: 320px; height: 356px; margin-top: 80px; margin-bottom: 44px;"> <object width="320" height="356"> <param name="movie" value="http://listen.grooveshark.com/widget.swf" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <param name="flashvars" value="hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&widgetID=22770693&style=metal&bbg=000000&bfg=046cc7&bt=FFFFFF&bth=000000&pbg=FFFFFF&pbgh=046cc7&pfg=000000&pfgh=FFFFFF&si=FFFFFF&lbg=FFFFFF&lbgh=046cc7&lfg=000000&lfgh=FFFFFF&sb=FFFFFF&sbh=046cc7&p=0" /> <embed src="http://listen.grooveshark.com/widget.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="356" flashvars="hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&widgetID=22770693&style=metal&bbg=000000&bfg=046cc7&bt=FFFFFF&bth=000000&pbg=FFFFFF&pbgh=046cc7&pfg=000000&pfgh=FFFFFF&si=FFFFFF&lbg=FFFFFF&lbgh=046cc7&lfg=000000&lfgh=FFFFFF&sb=FFFFFF&sbh=046cc7&p=0" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="opaque" /></object> </div> </body> Can anyone help me to make sure the flash displays right? what happens is the player loader displays at the top instead of the center and the control buttons are present before it loads. then after the loader fails it shows a "cannot connect" error. so I think the flash object is resizing inside its self. can anyone help me clean up this script so it will display correctly in iPhone safari (with flash enabled)? website is he smalldotdesign.zxq.net/iSwim.html that is where the HTML file is located that I am trying to get corrected. thanks in advance. i have a feeling this is going to be a tough fix. hi everyone, Can anyone provide me canvas tutorials? I am keep to update more knowledge on html5 and its tags. If you can provide me related information. Thankyou. Heya peeps. I have a problem I'm trying to overcome as shown below (From another thread): I'm in the process of building a website where audio can be purchased and downloaded. I want each file to allow a preview, but would rather the preview occur on the same page, rather than load up a blank page with a quicktime plugin splodged in the middle. Is there a way of doing it? All I want is a basic play/pause/stop button. To control a piece of sound. It seems that I may be able to achieve this using HTML 5, but I'm worried that people won't be able to read it with there browsers. Am I mistaken? Thanks Hey folks, I have a background in traditional enterprise software, and I am trying to gain expertise on newer technologies. I will greatly appreciate, if you could help me understand, when to use HTML5, when to use Flash and when to use Silverlight. If you could point to some tools etc that will be helpful. Thanks for your help Greetings, Can some one explain me the difference between HTML4 and HTML5? what is the content management system, and what are the benefits of CMS? Do you heard the word Joomla? Hi, Im tryin to use html5 video so my video can be watched by most browsers and cell phone OSs. Having an issue. the link working in Safari (on win) but not in FireFox http://beerdiaries.com/html5/html5.html any idea why? thanks i have to draw ball on canvas in html 5 depending on the input given by user in a textbox. ex: if a user enter 5 in a textfield, 5 ball should draw on canvas. Hi all, I have a web site that has some html tags and it works fine in Chrome and Firefox, however in IE8 and IE9 it just won't load any resources (stylesheets and javascript) and it gets completely broken. Does anyone know what the problem is? The doctype and html tag are declared as following: Code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> and the content type: Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> I was quite surprised to discover that a lot browsers are already starting to support HTML5... While the support isn't comprehensive, and it isn't universal - it does seem to at least work reasonably well - at least for those elements that are not tied to media: http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2009/re...ml-5-wai-aria/ I'm already thinking about making use of HTML5 in new projects... I quite like the idea of <header> and other elements. Hi, I am doing my final year project and am comparing two technologies (HTML5 -JavaScript and Flash -ActionScript). It would be greatly appreciated if you could take a few minutes to answer my survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CLVC23Z Thank You I seem to have run into a problem trying to locally load web applications offline. I think what I need to accomplish this is a .manifest file. I cant seem to get it to work though. I have the manifest file, I have it load in the html tag, and I think I have the .htaccess file set up correctly. If somebody could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. I learned the basics of XHTML using HTML Dog, so I now have a basic knowledge of XHTML. I've been reading about HTML online, and it seems like I want to switch to HTML5, since it seems like it's going t become the standard of the web and make XHTML obsolete. What are the differences between the two languages? How should I go about switching my XHTML pages to HTML5? How should I learn HTML5, and so on. Hello, I wonder if it is possible or it will be possible to make the webcam (Audio/Video) streaming with her website as a webcam chat without Flash or Silverlight but with HTML5 or perhaps JavaScript. Or will it always must pass through Flash or Silverlight to make a webcam chat Thanks in advance Hi, new to the forums here. I made this website from a free template and I'm very happy with it. In IE8 it looks like garbage though, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to change the code to get it to render somewhat well. (perfection not required) I would gladly paypal someone some cash that can help me out. URL: www.sharpeyeproductions.com I would like to get the tables below the main graphics fixed. The other pages on the site seem to render acceptably in IE8. Thanks for helping out a newbie everybody. Ok. So I'm trying to create an HTML music player (local purposes) using Perl. I want to use CSS so it can be easily "themed" and I am stuck on using Perl since the second main purpose of this is for me to get some practice. It has to use HTML 5 for ogg vorbis purposes (that's what all my music is)... The Issue - Can't have a form action specifically scripted to run in a <DIV> tag. Was going to use frames <form action="foo.cgi" target="someFrame"> but frames aren't supported in HTML 5. What are my other options? I'm using mass perl scripts (basically every link/button click) so I don't want to parse the whole page every freaking time. Once again... I know Perl isn't necessarily meant for this nor the best option but I'm practicing Perl so I HAVE to use Perl and I HAVE to use HTML 5 for ogg support. Any takers? Preferably I just want to use HTML and Perl... but some JS could be used if it is only other option. Hi, I am researching HTML5 vs Plug-in based browser software, namely Flash. I have developed a simple website with both technologies and a short survey. The survey is at the following URL- http://www.obiter-training.com/research All contributions are anonymous and no personal data is collected. Thank you for your help! I have a client I did an website for, the homepage has an Adobe Edge animation and it works fine except of course for non HTML5 browsers like IE8. So I was looking for a solution like a user agent where when the site is accessed by a non HTML 5 browser the div tag on the page where the edge animation is would be replaced with a .jpg I have looked at HTML boilerplate which I think could do this but I'm not a coder so if someone can point me in the right direction here I would appreciate it. Ralph Dee I'm having trouble getting a table to stay within its containing DIV. No matter what I do, I can't reduce the widths of the cells to make it fit. All cells are the same width, and using the width attribute to adjust them (either in the table or the td tags) doesn't help. Any suggestions? I'm willing to use DIV's to format the data, but it is tabular data and I think the table is still the best way to display it. Thanks Jason Hey Guys! Both kids are now in school and I need to brush up on my skills so I can get back to work! What is the best Free HTML5/CSS3 editor?
