Daiko’s Google VideoBar Widget v. 1.0 is ready!
After extensive research and even some moderate hacking of the Google javascript for Google’s GSVideoBar, I have reached version 1.0 of Daiko’s Google Videobar. The main problem has as always been getting it to work with Internet Explorer. Someone should take Microsoft to court for not complying with the standards. I’m afraid that more resources world wide are going into developing fixes and hacks for Internet Explorer than spammers will ever cause. Simple standard based functionality that programmers easily can obtain with CSS and xhtml is almost impossible to do in IE.
Market power discussion and a humble leisure time programmer’s frustrations aside. Please enjoy the updated version of Daiko’s Google Videobar, and hopefully I’ll have the strength to come back with an explanation to what I had to do to fix the pop up player to work with IE (including 7.0).
I know it looks somewhat weird still in Opera. I haven’t put that much effort to iron out that, but I’ll get back to it at some point. If you want more features, just drop me a line, and I’ll consider it. Have a wonderful week!
thank you
