    <p>i'm trying to build a video player, that works everywhere. so far i'd be going with:</p> <pre><code>&lt;video&gt; &lt;source src="video.mp4"&gt;&lt;/source&gt; &lt;source src="video.ogv"&gt;&lt;/source&gt; &lt;object data="flowplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt; &lt;param name="movie" value="flowplayer.swf" /&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value='config={"clip":"video.mp4"}' /&gt; &lt;/object&gt; &lt;/video&gt; </code></pre> <p>(as seen on several sites, for example <a href="http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody" rel="noreferrer">video for everybody</a>) so far, so good.</p> <p>but now i also want some kind of playlist/menu along with the video player, from which i can select other videos. those should be opened within my player right away. so i will have to "dynamically change the source of the video" (as seen on <a href="http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/everything-you-need-to-know-about-html5-video-and-audio/" rel="noreferrer">dev.opera.com/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-html5-video-audio/</a> - section "Let's look at another movie") with javascript. let's forget about the flashplayer (and thus IE) part for the time being, i will try to deal with that later.</p> <p>so my JS to change the <code>&lt;source&gt;</code> tags should be something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; function loadAnotherVideo() { var video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0]; var sources = video.getElementsByTagName('source'); sources[0].src = 'video2.mp4'; sources[1].src = 'video2.ogv'; video.load(); } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>problem is, this doesnt work in all browsers. namely, firefox =O there is a nice page, where you can observe the problem i'm having: <a href="http://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html</a></p> <p>as soon as i trigger the load() method (in firefox, mind you), the video player dies.</p> <p>now i have found out that when i don't use multiple <code>&lt;source&gt;</code> tags, but instead just one src attribute within the <code>&lt;video&gt;</code> tag, the whole thing DOES work in firefox.</p> <p>so my plan is to just use that src attribute and determine the appropriate file using the <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/video.html#dom-navigator-canplaytype" rel="noreferrer">canPlayType()</a> function.</p> <p>am i doing it wrong somehow or complicating things??</p>

    1. COThat sounds just fine to me. How is it "complicating" to simplify the markup?

    2. COthe problem is i see myself running into a lot of javascript and distinction of cases. if maybe i missed something, like there was a way to make it work in firefox WITH multiple `<source>` tags. then i suppose that would be easier

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
