[whatwg] Video playback UI

2007-03-18 Thread Alexey Feldgendler
Recently, there has been some debate about whether the browser should present its own standard UI for playback control or let the authors design their own UI (branded and consistent with the site design). Browser-provided UI has the advantage of having the same UI across all pages, which

[whatwg] video: togglePause() versus pause()

2007-03-18 Thread Anne van Kesteren
Hi, I just played some more with our internal implementation (Opera's) and noticed that our pause() really is like togglePause() in the HTML5 proposal. Looking at the specification I don't see much need for pause() there. Perhaps togglePause() should just become pause() and pause() be

Hi Matthew, Very cool set of test cases. Would it be cool to make them as individual files and send them as attachments. On the same line, this is a testing for object, W3C QA and WASP organised two years ago. Most recent information is missing. So if you have a browser please add it.

I don't see the problem with this. Object is a tag to represent just about anything, even text/html renders in an object. Can you identify a use case where you *need* to know before you get a content-type header? Gaz On 17 Mar 2007, at 15:17, Matthew Raymond wrote: Laurens Holst wrote:
