JavaScript - I Want To Learn Java By Videos.

Hello, glad to be here!!

So I am curious about a simple script to play a main video, with thumbnails below. What I am wanting is when you click on a thumb, it plays in the main video spot. Hope this isn't much, but donations are allowed if it is.

I want to be able to display an embedded video on a web page but i want the URL to be different based on the source IP visting the web page.

Can this be done in javascript?

Example: If someone from inside our network (one IP address on the outside) visits our external web page (hosted externally) visits a web page with one of the embedded videos the URL and code will serve up a locally hosted video. (WMV format)

If someone outside our network (any other IP) visits our web site, they'll see embedded videos hosted on YouTube.

hello Devs, i have a website that has lots of videos on it, the other day i saw a mouse over that showed a snippet of the youtube video, it had microsoft across the front it's since been deleted so i cannot show you an example, does anyone know where i can obtain this script please?

Hello,

I am trying to search some information about how to do a concept website like this:

http://unfold.no/

Exactly what I want is something similar with vertical scroll but instead of images or the map I want that when you are going down the page you find a background video for example in the first area with an autoplay and if you are continue going down the video stops automatically.

Not sure if there is any type of "control" when you can say: "When Video is on your screen auto-play and when dissapear from you screen stop.

I am not sure if this is posible to do with Javascript or maybe with Flash.

I have not found any example similar than this so not really sure if is a imposible fact.

Thank you for your time

I just know 2 sites below:

Hello!

I have wanted to learn JS/PHP/MySQL for like six-seven years and I have in periods quitted and started with HTML/CSS because I always find CSS as an obstacle. I am a perfectionist, so I want everything to be perfect and I get frustrated when I don't know when to use %, px, em, when to use bla and bla.. And besides, I suck at design. I don't have an eye for that.

I just want to get started with the fun stuff - get some interaction with the user. Can I start learning JS without really mastering CSS and then hopefully get back to CSS afterwards? And would I want to learn JS or jQuery at first?

Thanks!

Hi guys I'm new to the forums here. I want to learn how to use Javascript and AJAX along with jquery or prototype to develop a dynamic website.

For example, I like how www.dropbox.com works. Everything has a transition, and you can drag and drop things around which is what I like.

Ultimately I hope to be able to develop a dynamic website with social networking elements.

I know my goals are lofty, but where should I get started and what should I learn. I have some cursory programming experience with visual basic, fortran and html. Any particular books that would help me learn. Ideally a book would have some programming "challenges" or small projects that would give me some experience.

Thanks

Hello, I'm currently taking a JavaScript class at a local community college and my whole learning experience with it has been horrendous. I'm doing horrible in the class and the book we use is just beyond horrible. The book we use is called JavaScript and ajax 2nd edition. The first assignment we had to do had us putting an array in a function. Other programming classes uses books that start out slow this one just jumps right into it and is all disorganized. I have taken Java and Python and passed both classes with a B but for some reason I'm struggling really bad in this class. I wanted to be a web developer but I feel like it's slowly fading away because of the difficulty of the course. What are some better ways I can learn JavaScript? I have heard of code academy, tree house, and code school and tried code academy but I felt like it was just mainly copying code and I want to get more out of it. How did you guys learn JavaScript..Was it self taught or through school? I really thought that JavaScript would be easier than learning java and python but I feel like it's not. Thanks for your help..I need some words of encouragement. lol

I've managed to gain decent knowledge of HTML and CSS and am now looking into Javascript, I have been following the "beginner JavaScript tutorials" that TheNewBoston does on youtube, is this the best source or would you advise using http://www.w3schools.com/??? Any other websites?

Thanks

I want to get started in javascript, and while I can do html, some dhtml, and learned (and forgot) cobol, assembly and fortran, I'm not 'getting' it.

so I thought if I could start with something I want to do, and see the script for it, rather than figure out what other scripts are doing, that might work better.

Suppose I wanted to start at a fixed number, and count up by a randomized +1 or +2 every 12 hours, from now till forever, and display the resultant number.

If starting with
<script language="javascript">
Countup();
</script>


What next?

I am just a beginner..can u please suggest me how to learn it properly..any book(must not be lengthy and complicated) or document.

Hi guys.. I am just starting to learn JavaScript. I wanted to know how to have multiple hyperlinks (Containing links to Youtube Videos) that when clicked, cause the corresponding videos to play on the Youtube Player Embedded on the site. I hope my question is not too confusing. Thank you in advance!

P.S.
I saw some Source Code relating to this on StackOverflow and copied it and couldn't get it to work.. Here's my source code.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title> Sample Page </title>
<script>
// Get element holding the video (embed or object)
var player = document.getElementById("MOVIE");
 
//Create a simple function and check if player exists
function play() {
    if(player) {
        player.playVideo();
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="MOVIE" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HsQIoPyfQzM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HsQIoPyfQzM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
</br></br>
<a href="http://youtu.be/sPvqNMb4StI" onclick="play()"> THIS IS FIRST Video Link </a></br></br>
<a href="http://youtu.be/w7_Ccu21QVs" onclick="play()"> THIS IS SECOND Video Link </a>
</body>

Hi! I'm just starting to learn java script and have a questions. If anyone could answer this it'd be great.

When preloading images for use in things like mouseout/on/etc what is the proper code?

var image1, image 2;
image1 = new Image()
image1.src = ""
image2 = new Image()
image2.src = ""

OR

var image1
image1....
var image2
image2....


The book I have list both but only the 2nd way I listed works. Why?

Thanks

Hey All,

I replied in another thread asking about this, but I figured it would be best to have a separate thread for it.

I'm trying to use lightbox (Video Lightbox) to not just open a video when clicking on a thumbnail image, but a mock "page" of several videos, where the main video plays, but there are surrounding thumbnail images that can then also be selected to play in the main player.

Has anyone ever done anything like this? I've seen it done elsewhere, but wasn't sure how to actually implement it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I want to have another go at Javascript. I have several books on the subject but I find that my eyesight is a major problem. Therefore I want to try an on-line solution, preferably free.

I have Googled, but there are so many that I am almost dizzy with the choices.

Perhaps someone could recommend one. Not too fussy visually. My knowledge is VERY basic.
