flash object not displaying in firefox

By User



When i first load the page the flash container div is set to display:none, i then apply some jQuery to .fadeIn() and set the div heigth and width size. Fine. But within this div i embed the flash object this way:







<object width="692" height="389">

    <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />

    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />

    <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> 

    <param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=<?php the_field('vimeo'); ?>&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" />

    <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=<?php the_field('vimeo'); ?>&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="692" height="389">

    </embed>

</object>







Where:







<?php the_field('vimeo'); ?>







is a generated Id via php.





Basically the issue is that I need to use the old flash object only for firefox as otherwise by using the iframe method form vimeo I'd get random black screen for the video, the solution is to use the flash object, only for firefox but for some reasons I don't get the video displayed while i can see the object in the DOM.





Thanks

    "I think it's because jQuery is not equipped to manipulate opacity of a third-party multimedia object, even though it is embedded into standard HTML markup.

    Your best bet could be just positioning an invisible DIV with the same dimensions on top of it and then just fading that in/out (but this is just pure speculation)."

    Why does JQuery not fade a flash object properly?

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
