While waiting for Daiko’s widgetized Google VideoBar
As I promised a while ago I’m in the process of developing the widgetized version of Google’s GSVideoBar. I’ve been a bit in doubt whether to include other Google AJAX magic as included widgets and have decided to at least add some of them.
As for the VideoBar I have been struggling with a pop-up player solution to give it an extra touch of magic of my own. You can check it out at http://www.googlebetas.com. Be aware that this is a very early version and that it is far from fixed, but the basic elements work.
Some of you may notice that the pop-up player is in conflict with Daiko’s Video Widget in IE < 7.0. That is the z-index problem that stems from IE’s weird division of elements into “windowed” and “non-windowed”. I don’t even know if I bother to fix it as long as it works well in Firefox and IE 7.
Give me a couple of weeks more and I’ll have a full fledged widgetized version of most of the Google AJAX project with special emphasis on Video of course.
