Hi there,

Thanks to your changes Michelle, good work. I managed to modify your code to 
make controller bar to slide nicely with captions :)
Branch is available here:
https://github.com/xOZx/videoPlayer/tree/FLUID-4616-experimental

Basically, placed both controller bar and caption area into one div, as you 
Michelle mentioned. Plus remembered exactly what CSS styling I applied on 
Friday to make caption area and controller area to be in a div one on top 
another.

Had to change captionator.js code and change CSS styles. Let me know what do 
you think.
It is an experimental branch so I did not put comments into captionator and 
more since want to know your opinion first.

Alex

It looks pretty decent to be honest even with captions jumping up and down... 
although, sad to mention, that positioning is not stable. Couple of times I 
managed to make captions appear right beneath the controller bar.
Also all labels are shown beneath the controller bar as well, maybe it is the 
time to use z-index for the alts?
If we are going to use this branch maybe we need to position captions a little 
bit higher so that when you use UIO captions do not overlap with the controller 
bar.

Ugh.. captionator positioning is a real pain.
The creator finally contacted me, wondering if he could make changes in his 
code to use em instead of points or fix the positioning somehow :S

Subject: Hiding and showing the controllers

Hi,

I've just pushed a branch to my repo which hides and shows the controllers on 
mouse over.  https://github.com/michelled/videoPlayer/tree/FLUID-4619

There are a couple bugs in this interaction right now that aren't trivial to 
fix.

1) The captions don't slide with the controllers - instead they jump up and 
down. I think the best solution to this is to change the way the styling on the 
captions is done. This is actually quite a bit of work and probably involves 
forking Captionator.

2) When navigating with the keyboard, the controllers show when the video gets 
focus but they don't hide after tabbing away from the video player. The issue 
here is that when the video loses focus, it's because the first controller gets 
focus. At this point we obviously don't want to hide the controllers. What I 
need to know when the next thing after the video player gets focus. Perhaps 
this is a case for deadMansBlur?

I'm not sure if this branch is currently an improvement of the demo branch. 
Could someone please review the interaction and let me know what you think?

Thanks,

Michelle
