Told to ask in here

But I am looking to see if it would be possible to code a rotator in HTML to rotate videos? or do rotators only work for images?

[Bond996]

Yes, should be in WD&P.

 

Anyways, it is definetly not possible through HTML. HTML is a static language to display things. However, using PHP, ASP, some form of AJAX, it is possible. There was an image-rotating tutorial floating around on WD&P at some point, and quote or image rotating tutorials are easily found on google.

rotator? Like to randomly show an image/video? Or to rotate it like change it from to 90-dergress clockwise?

AzUpload has an easy to use image rotator. Just copy&paste the URL given after you've configured the rotator, and you're away.

 

@ Bond - Looks like it's archived, I remember the one but just can't find it at all.

Just have a dynamic PHP script to spit out the path to the video inside an object tab.

 

<?php$videos = array('video1.avi','video2.avi','someothervideo.avi','riseofcommunism.avi');echo '<object src="'.$videos[rand(0,count($videos)-1)].'" />';?>

In addition, HTML is a non-dynamic mark-up language, anyone who calls it programming will end up with my left foot firmly up their arse.

 

Incase you don't know, that PHP script posted above is embedded into HTML (So just put that code in your website). Then that has to be saved as .php, then uploaded to a server that can run php, most free ones can't.
