QUOTE The Internet Will End on April 11 What does this mean? It's April 12 today.. I can see from that site that there is only a minor change. CODE <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5..." ...> <param name="src" value="sample.mov"> </object> changing to CODE <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5..." ...> <param name="src" value="sample.mov" [b]/[/b]> </object> The change is by adding the "/" at the end of the param name? What I don't understand is why it must be done with Javascript? |

The only change is that it has to be encapsulated in javascript. Eolas has a patent out on embeded media content that loads directly with the page. Creating the content with javascript keeps it from being embedded, and therefore sidesteps the patent. Eolas has been nice enough to say that they won't target Firefox or any other opensource and freeware program.
Using javascript for flash/quicktime/etc seems like a pretty terrible idea because of all the people who have it disabled or limited. It also means that writing embedded content into webpages is going to be more of a pain in the future -- it makes me thankful for conditional comments. |
