[TIP] How to re use a placeholder

[steve.ledger]

Using the <iframe> html tag in a placeholder it's quite straight forward to create a page that can re use a placeholder to display selectable resources.

Here I've show how to I've re used a placeholder to play a selection of embedded YouTube videos at any size.

And you can use placeholders with <iframe> on the popup layers.
Just a hint, but think about it.

Yes that would allow the video window to only appear when a movie is selected.

When I do a preview of your reusing single placeholder.web document, I get two error messages: line 2, char 1 is Invalid character; line 1, char 1 Object expected. The videos don't play.

Sledger,

I need your help to do a page with different videos playing in one window. I want just one window for the flash player that plays different videos according to selection. Attached is the page. I hope you could understand what I mean.

Hi Dchoi,

I think you found your answer?
Have you downloaded the example .web file and studied the method?

I have a question: I want a border around the IFRAME, but when I do that, you can't scroll it anymore. I don't mean the frameborder tag but a border I want to create in Xara (see the horrible, quickly made example below)
I tried to put the border on another layer, but that doesn't work...

Not sure I understand, but make sure the border bitmap is below the IFRAME, I've done them with and without borders and they scrolled OK when needed.
