Greetings!
I have not done any html to speak of yet, so I am trying to see that I am on the right track to get this working. :crazy:Any input from experienced person that has done something similar is GREATLY appreciated!
Intent is to have an animated gif (everything is hosted offsite) included on a web page or possibly an email: while the gif is playing there is an included white panel that will have a .mov playing (I want the sound so I am not using animated gif for everything). I have finally figured I should be able to use a client side map to make this work, but not sure about a few things. I am still struggling in GIMP to complete the animation, but that is a different forum. I want to be sure what I need can be done easily.
I used this as a resource:
If I am off base and you can find an area on the resource page to point out what I am wrong about, that would help as well as fixing my code.
These are my concerns:
1. I dont think the .mov will play without some action on part of the person viewing the page. If so how can I get it started automatically as the gif loads?
2. I am guessing I still have something seriously missing in the code but I have no clue !!
Thanks very much,
We
